On the remarks made by Mr. Gove in October, what changed between October and March that caused him to say access to waters would change if the United Kingdom left the European Union without a deal such that non-UK vessels would no longer have automatic fishing rights?

On the vessels impounded last week, if the necessary legislation is not brought forward to avoid it happening again, will it have a negative effect on relations with the United Kingdom? With reference to the other member states, if there is a restriction of the UK waters, is it envisaged that all of the concentration will be on Irish waters and, if so, what is the impact likely to be on quotas? I am also interested in hearing Dr. Beamish's response to Deputy McConalogue's question about the redistribution of quotas if the United Kingdom leaves the European Union without a deal.
