I thank Deputy Kehoe. I fully recognise the importance of access to UK waters, particularly for fishermen on the south-east coast. We have been very cognisant of that at all times. A national position has been taken on the retention of quota share and access and this is an outcome that is essential for those fishermen.
On the SFPA, I do not have those figures to hand. The SFPA operates on a separate statutory and legal basis to the Minister. We can arrange for a note containing answers to those questions to be sent to the Deputy.
