I seek clarification. In the context of the London Fisheries Convention announcement, has the Government been in contact with the British Government on the specific issue of Lough Foyle? In fairness, the Government has not made provocative statements about Lough Foyle. The British Government has done so. The whole of Lough Foyle is within the United Kingdom so if the Minister marries that statement with the London Fisheries Convention announcement, will he take the opportunity to convey the concern of the Irish Government about those positions and make it clear that we do not accept any claim over the fisheries of Lough Foyle?
