IFI is taking major decisions on trying to exit from fish farming. A number of figures have been thrown about, which do not seem to stand up. It is important for the committee to include IFI in the work programme and potentially invite IFI representatives in. Although we understand ISI and the fish farming operation provide every county with fish, it is using an excuse of loss-making and accumulated reserves to back away from it. It does not stand up scrutiny and we should bring IFI in.
