8.—(1) Whenever the Minister for Lands so thinks proper, for experimental purposes in connection with sea-fishing, the Minister may issue a permit authorising fishing by means of a specified foreign sea-fishing boat (as defined by section 219 of the Fisheries (Consolidation) Act, 1959 ) within the exclusive fishery limits of the State or any defined area or areas thereof. | |

(3) The Minister may at any time modify the conditions of a permit and impose new conditions, and may revoke the permit. | ||
(4) Fishing under and in accordance with the conditions for the time being attached to a permit in force under this section shall not be a contravention of the prohibition on fishing by means of a foreign sea-fishing boat imposed by subsection (1) of section 222 of the Fisheries (Consolidation) Act, 1959 . |
