Mr. Stiofán Ó Cúláin:

We are happy that the present owners will develop this company. They have developed a similar type of company in Canada employing nearly 300 people, and back in Kilkieran there are 20 people. They have the same resource base. They have a lot of expertise and knowledge, and they are sensitive to local cultural issues such as bilingualism. Acadian is located in a French-speaking area in Canada, which means the region is bilingual as well. They understand small fishing and farming communities. My last visit was two weeks ago, but one of the first things they did was to increase the price paid to harvesters by 10%. That gives us an indication of what they will do going forward. We feel this is a good deal for the area and the community. We will get much better bang for our buck from the resource.
