Sorry. I thought he was fishing off the island. It was suggested that there were no facilities on the island for larger boats. Mr. Murphy referred to the 1% issue as regards the trading quota. We need to look at this because some people would only need a percentage of the 1%, on account of the amount of fish there is around the island. They might need a little bit more for other species at other times but the 1% is a ballpark figure and not a real figure as such. Mr. Murphy spoke about it being traded. How can it be traded if nobody owns it?
