While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance the public authority does not hold or cannot, after taking reasonable steps to do so, find the information that you have requested. This is because the Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture did not provide a loan towards the purchase of the fishing vessel PL 777 Boy Shayne.
