Many of our fishermen are very unhappy at the moment and it is difficult to explain to them that the Brexit negotiations, while not exactly out of our hands, are happening at a distance. The talks are between the EU and the British Government. What can the Minister say to fishermen now to reassure them that we are doing our absolute best in the context of the Brexit negotiations? Can he assure them, in three or four sentences, that he and the Government are doing their best to get the best possible deal for them?
