Mr. Maguire did not address the issue I raised. Both the Department with responsibility for natural resources and Inland Fisheries Ireland have, time and again, expressed major doubts and opposition to BIM's proposal. I think it is extraordinarily bad practice. I saw it happen when we were in government and I was absolutely furious about it. It is a case of two Departments of the one Government and two Government agencies at loggerheads which are likely to wind up in the European Court on opposite sides. They should resolve their differences first. What has been going on to resolve the differences between BIM, the mother Departments and the two agencies before the taxpayers' money is wasted fighting each other in the European Court with our money?

With regard to BIM's proposal in Galway Bay, how many jobs are projected for the farm and how many jobs projected in processing?
