Bass (Restriction on Sale) Order

#1 Post by teacher »

Does anyone know if the Minister signed a new order restricting the sale of Bass? If not, then the current order expires today and selling Irish caught bass would seem to be legal from tomorrow.

I had a look here

It seems odd.

The other reg. -Bass (Conservation of Stocks) Regulations 2006 - is still in force..

It seems there was a change in the legislation that required new orders to be introduced in May. What's odd is that there is no expiry date at all on the conservation of stocks order.

I'm waiting for someone in the Department to call me back. (If you don't hear fromme again, it's because I've passed out holding my breath.) Still I have the guy's name now.

Now all we have to do is get everyone to obey the laws and we'll all be able to catch 10lb Bass from the shore every day of the week forever.

The novelty might wear off after a while :D Still, I'd be happy to take that risk.
