I might come in again later but I will be very brief. I am from an area where there are a number of fishermen and I am concerned about the general impression that might be given about the industry generally, for example, that abuse is widespread. I ask Mr. Kelly and Mr. O'Brien to comment on that. I am worried about the owners of boats and people who are doing their best to comply, who are working hard and so forth, and that the impression might be given that the entire industry is abusing workers. Perhaps they would comment on that because it would be wrong to give that impression to the public. Certainly, in the media and elsewhere that appears to be the wide paint brush that is being used at present. To start with the general point, how widespread is the abuse? Are there many people and employers who are complying and doing their best to comply?
