Committee on Fisheries and Maritime Affairs
Extension of EU-UK Trade Agreement and Implications for the Irish Fishing and Seafood Industry: Discussion
2:00 am
Conor McGuinness (Waterford, Sinn Fein)
Gabhaim buíochas leis an Uasal Conneely. I thank the Minister and his officials for being at the first part of the meeting and the sectoral representatives for being at the second part. We had a really good discussion. I thank members for the co-operation. This is the first meeting I have chaired at which we have had witnesses. We had a number of business meetings to set up the committee. I thank everyone for their engagement and co-operation. This will not be the last time we will have the witnesses before the committee. The purpose of the committee is to give a voice to coastal communities and the industry and to change attitudes, cultures and policies that need to be changed for thriving, sustainable communities along our coastline and around our island.
I will adjourn the meeting. I wish you safe home agus go raibh mile maith agaibh arís.
