Mrs. Sharon McMahon:

Yes. At present, we are in something of a stalemate because of the political situation in the North with regard to the Northern Ireland Assembly. Our regulatory review would go through that process as well. The North-South Ministerial Council would approve our legislation. We have a number of items parked at present.

We would like to bring in fixed penalties, for example, on-the-spot fines, but we cannot do that until the political process moves forward in the North. That legislative amendment is there and ready to go.

We have a concern regarding invasive species, obviously, being a fisheries management body. If the Chair will allow, I will ask Dr. Boylan to comment.
