That reminds me of a question I should have put earlier about seaweeds. I had not considered algae. Has the IFA members who are active in that? What is the nature of their farms? Where are their markets? Can the IFA briefly give me a bit of background on it, because it is something where there is definitely room for growth?

We spoke about the idea of a one-stop shop for licensing and how helpful that would be. When it comes to supports, that approach of a one-stop shop would be very useful, but also when it comes to responding to mortality events and crises within the sector. This may be a product of where aquaculture sits in Irish public life. Is it sea fisheries? Is it agriculture? Where does it fit in? There are probably myriad agencies the sector is left dealing with between inland fisheries, BIM, the Marine Institute, ALAB, which we mentioned, the EPA and many others including various Government Departments, albeit that there is now one with responsibility. What are the thoughts on that one-stop shop model for the other sides of the business, not just the licensing?
