I thank Professor Collins for his comprehensive opening statement. I thank him for stepping into the role of chair of Inland Fisheries Ireland. He has outlined his vast experience and suitability for the role. We, as a committee, are very glad he has stepped up and is taking it on. He has acknowledged the organisational challenges with IFI as well as the strategic challenges, notwithstanding the broader challenge to fisheries in this country.

I will ask members to indicate to ask questions. Deputy Kenny is first.
