Mr. Michael Desmond:

I ask the committee to make a recommendation for financial supports for us. We are not joking when we say the financial income is not there at the moment. It is not the lack of fish; it is the lack of price for that fish. Overheads are another issue. The price of bait is ten times what it was previously. When I talked about tenfold increases, I was not joking. I spoke about a pot costing £5 30 years ago. Now, it is close to €100.
