Mr. Martin Sisk:

Deputy Gallagher was previously the Minister for the marine so he has a special knowledge of this area. Dr. Officer has already had a conversation with the Cathaoirleach about the committee coming down to Galway for a full-day session.

As soon as is feasible, I assume some time in the autumn, I invite the committee to come to the Marine Institute in Galway. We will give the members a full and extensive presentation and they will get to meet all the staff. I very much look forward to the committee taking this opportunity. With regard to the other issues mentioned, I am totally open to looking at them and Dr. Officer could probably add some valuable comments on them.
