I thank all the representatives for coming here today. In my political view, how this country has given away our fishing resources and how we have made ourselves a tiny minority in our own waters is one of our biggest disgraces. It is clear that all of the communities we are dealing with in this respect are communities that are living on the edge.

This discussion has been very educational for the committee. As I have said, all of the content of the witnesses' engagement with the committee will find its way to the Minister, either through a letter or through the two reports we are writing. Go raibh míle maith agaibh as teacht anseo inniu agus slán abhaile.

We shall suspend the meeting for short while but I encourage all committee members to remain here because our next guest has also made a journey to meet with us. Go raibh míle maith agaibh.
