I did not get an answer about the bluefin tuna. I would also like to clarify that I do not support parts of the task force report in respect of decommissioning. The Irish South and West Fish Producers Organisation in west Cork do not either. They have been made well aware of that. I just want that clarified because the Minister keeps me throwing at me that I do. It is a terrible situation for fisherman. The best options we can offer them that came up over the past 12 months are either decommissioning or tie-up schemes.
I would appreciate if the Minister could answer me on bluefin tuna.
