When we met representatives of the fishermen in question they indicated that the problem they faced was that they do not have receipts to show they purchased the pots. While they lost their pots, they do not have receipts for them. One man from west Cork lost more than 300 pots and his entire business as a consequence. Is an alternative available? For example, would proof that they had sold fish during the period in question suffice?
