Dr. Rigney's comments are interesting because another of our recommendations when we discussed migrant fishers was that a translator be provided.

If an official was inspecting a vessel and did not know the language of the person on board who was in distress, that official would not be able to articulate the issues involved. Another of our recommendations was that a translator be provided when such a person was being questioned.

I know that Deputy Quinlivan has to leave early. Does he have more questions or has he concluded?
