I thank Deputy Ring. His point is absolutely valid in regard to ensuring sustainable and viable future careers for young people in particular in the sector. That is what we have to work our way through and is what we have to provide. It is a sector that has a strong future in our country and we must ensure it has. Central to that is young people coming in and central to that is our supporting them in doing that and maximising the opportunity in terms of fish and quotas. That is, as the Deputy says, a big challenge we have at the meeting next weekend and in terms of the forthcoming Common Fisheries Policy review. I thank Deputy Ring for his comments.
