I thank the Chair for clarifying that. There is no meaningful engagement with the Department. The committee should write to the Department and ask that it interact far more often with the inshore fishermen. At the end of the day we have a Department and that is what it is there for. It has to engage with the people out on the sea doing the job and it is not doing that. The Department needs to step up.
