Mr. Jean-Paul Deveau:

The Deputy asked about Arramara Teo's licence application and whether we would be capable of modifying that licence to allow other entrants. We can work together in a way that would allow a proper division of territories. It is important to remember that we have applied for 21 specific areas from Belmullet to Ballyvaughan, covering approximately 20% of the coastline in question. There are substantial quantities of seaweed in those areas, but there are many other areas along that stretch that also have seaweed. By sitting down with other organisations, we will be able to work out a scheme under which all parties will be able to develop their respective businesses.
