I thank the witnesses for a very informative discussion and for their deep insight into the industry. It is perhaps an issue for another day and another committee, but I agree with Deputy Michael Collins that the crewmen need to be better looked after when their boats are tied up, often through no fault of their own. We must remember that these people have families who depend on their working. As Ms Parke said, it is important that we are all on the one hymn sheet with regard to Brexit.

Will the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy Creed, be informed of what has been discussed here today, particularly in respect of fairness regarding the mackerel quota and so on?
