I ask the witnesses to keep us updated on their meeting with the Minister of State. If these concerns are not addressed, I ask them to correspond with the committee and ask it to play an active role in assisting the process.

My understanding of the position of the National Inshore Fishermen's Association is that it supports the Irish fishing industry being given a fair allocation of fish under the Common Fisheries Policy but it is asking that this fairness extends inshore. It is asking for more fish for the Irish quota and for a fair share of the quota. Is this a fair assessment of the position?
