For our second session on the impact of Brexit on the fisheries industry, I welcome from the Irish South and West Fish Producers Organisation, Mr. Patrick Murphy, chief executive officer, and Mr. John Lynch, chairman; from the Killybegs Fishermen's Organisation, Mr. Seán O'Donoghue, chief executive officer; and from the Irish Fish Producers Organisation, Mr. John Ward, chief executive officer.

On behalf of the committee, I express sincere condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Mr. Hugo Boyle, chief executive officer of the Irish South and East Fish Producers Organisation, who passed away this week. Mr. Boyle worked tirelessly on behalf of the fisheries industry and made frequent and valuable contributions to this committee. I propose that we hold a minute's silence in his memory. Is that agreed? Agreed.

Members rose.
