In fairness, we had decided to invite the Irish South and East Fish Producers Organisation to this meeting. During the past year, the committee has dealt with a lot of issues in regard to Brexit, employment law, banded hour contracts and so on. We do not want to engage in meetings with opposing sides side by side because we will get nothing done. We have to give the right of reply to all people who make representations to us and that is what we are about today. We are delighted the Irish South and East Fish Producers Organisation is here today.
