I thank the Deputy for raising the topic. We all extend our sympathies to the families of those who were lost at sea in recent days. I know fishing boats local to the Minister of State's own constituency were at sea that day and managed to assist some of the vessels. I do not think that was reported but I was speaking to fishermen who had been around the area and managed to help some others, but unfortunately not all.
