I thank Mr. Flynn. That concludes the presentations, which cover a good cross-section of the issues and provide food for thought. There are many similarities in the points covered. An effort is being made to bring together people who have different interests and come from parts of the inshore fishing sector in order that they can all live in harmony. That is part of what we are trying to do.

Mr. Flynn's last point about the licensing regime is worrying because we are constantly told it is the designation under the habitats directive that is the big problem. If there is such a delay in the process for a non-SAC area there is something really wrong. I call Deputy Ferris.
