Mr. Finian O'Sullivan:

The targets were laid out by people. We have our own targets in the industry. I have a target for what my company can produce but nationally the target was set at 81,500 tonnes by 2004. It was decided at that stage that we had the potential to produce to those type of targets, but we are far short of doing so. The actual target we were operating from at that time was 45,000 tonnes. Last year, it was 38,500 tonnes. There can be variations in shellfish, but every fellow knows what he can grow. You might say you are going to grow 1,000 tonnes, and you might grow 900 tonnes or 1,050 tonnes.
