In regard to County Mayo, I am anxious that we maximise the benefit of our seaweed resources by harvesting them in a sustainable way. Mr. O'Sullivan indicated that he has applied for a licence to harvest 12,500 tonnes. What experience does he have in harvesting? Has he or his company ever harvested seaweed? Has he confidence in the Competition Authority or has he considered that option in regard to his situation?
