Will the officials inform the committee of the landings and how that procedure was applied right throughout the last year perhaps, to ensure that it was not just a one-off?

I want to go into the options and what is at the nub of this to complete my questioning. In his opening statement, Mr. Hayes mentioned that the High Court has deemed the industry weighing system as operational or as fine. Is it the case that the lack of ability to use it as a mechanism to weigh blue whiting and other fish is because it is industry-owned? Is that the core of the issue?
