Mr. Don Hoctor:
The organisations are dominated by the big players. The big players have the boats and they have processing operations. They control the organisations. Basically, that group is opposed to what we are talking about here. The rest, comprising approximately eight of the processors, would have a different view because they have the same problems we have. Four of them are based up in Donegal and four are down south. There are two different groups with different views but the dominant group is the group that has the power. Therefore, there is a mixture.
