Mr. Mark Griffin:

I think there is a very good story to tell on that front. I know that IFI commissioned a very comprehensive report in recent years on the value of the inland fisheries resource in terms of generating additional tourism within the State. The figures are quite staggering. We are talking several hundred million euro. I think it is €280 million that the recreational fishing industry generates for the State in terms of tourism potential.
