I will make a final point. I understand that the Minister of State has to leave. We had a presentation from fishers a few weeks ago and discovered that despite a report from this committee five years ago urging the WRC to maintain inspections, less than half the number of the inspectors were carrying out inspections this year compared to four or five years ago. Unfortunately, that is the reality on the ground in one of the most exploited sectors in our economy. We need to do not just more but much more. I thank the Minister of State.
