Mr. Michael Foley:

At the moment, the Marine Institute is doing DNA sampling on the Celtic Sea herring, and it now believes that 50% of the Celtic Sea herring has gone north into the north Irish Sea. It is actually climate change or water temperatures rising. It believes now that the fish have gone into the Irish Sea. However, we have very little Irish Sea herring quota because we lost it in the Brexit deal. We will have to get access for that herring fishery. If it is the case that the Celtic Sea fish have gone into the Irish Sea and we do not have Irish Sea quota for it, we are done.
