I have just two questions. In regard to the target to achieve 200 agriculture licence determinations this year, how many have been made and what progress is being made on the appropriate assessments in regard to Natura 2000 bays?

In regard to the increase in tonnage of foreign catch to be processed in Ireland in the whitefish sector, has any assessment been made of the impact on prices for Irish vessels of encouraging foreign vessels to land whitefish here? I have heard anecdotal evidence that this has caused a reduction in prices for Irish vessels, because they do not have a quota that can guarantee supply to processors. Has any information been gathered on the impact of this?
