The impact of Brexit on this area is exceptionally concerning. What is the total catch from British waters? Also, it is indicated in the report that strategies, supports and funding are in place. Is there anything outside of the supports and resources already available to BIM to enable it to achieve its objectives that it has indicated to Government it requires?
In regard to the educational aspect and, in particular, the Greencastle fisheries school, perhaps BIM would update the committee on its investment plans and so on in terms of the overall educational provision into the future.
