No; that is a matter for another day.

The sub-committee is trying to bring all the visions of the various delegations together. It is very heartening to hear officialdom admit there is an excess of fish stocks that should be exploited responsibly. It is heartening to hear the fisheries protection agency suggest ways it could collaborate with other sectors. A while ago, we had the Health and Safety Authority adopting the same approach of not being an inspection regime but a visiting one, working with those the agency is trying to help.

We now have much information with which to make recommendations when we are drawing up our final report with the Oireachtas Library and Research Service. We will ensure the delegations are given copies of our findings and recommendations when they are finalised.
