One of the problems we have seen so far is that where resources are limited, there is division and competition over those resources. As I see it, both of the regions we are talking about are already suffering significantly for various other economic reasons, including a lack of infrastructure and so forth, so the opportunities for people are fewer than in other areas, such as the east coast of Ireland. That is a major difficulty.

I wish to pull the lens back a little to see what is happening. What is the health of the fish stocks off the coast of Ireland at the moment?
