Certainly, but they also might be able to enlighten us on some of those issues because that light at the end of the tunnel is not there at present regardless of whether you are an inshore fishermen or a pelagic fishermen. In respect of COM (2023) 578 and COM (2023) 495 - there is one on the previous page as well - we need to know where Irish pelagic fishermen are going at this stage. Will there be extra quota this year for them? Are we going to be faced with the same situation where we see more quota being taken from them and given to Iceland? Maybe some of our registered trawlers in Holland are getting some small part of Icelandic waters but not Irish fishermen owning those trawlers. That is the situation here and I would appreciate the witnesses giving a full rundown as to where we are going.
