Deputy Pádraig Mac Lochlainn is substituting for Deputy Matt Carthy, Deputy Christopher O'Sullivan is substituting for Senator Paul Daly and Deputy Thomas Pringle is substituting for Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice. No apologies have been received. Before we begin, I remind members that in the context of the current Covid-19 restrictions, only the Chairman and staff are present in the committee room and all members must join remotely from elsewhere in the parliamentary precincts. The secretariat issues invitations to join the meeting on MS Teams and members may not participate from outside the parliamentary precincts. I ask members to mute their microphones when they are not making a contribution and to use the raise hand function to indicate. Members should note that messages sent in the meeting chat are visible to all participants. Speaking slots will be prioritised for members of the committee.

Today's meeting is in two sessions. The first session, from 3.30 p.m. to 4.30 p.m., will be an engagement with representatives of the Sea-Fisheries Protection Authority, SFPA, while the second, from 4.30 p.m. to 5.30 p.m., will be an engagement with representatives of the Killybegs Fishermen's Organisation, the Irish Fish Producers Association, the Fish Processors and Exporters Association, the Irish South and West Fish Producers Organisation and the Irish South and East Fish Producers Organisation.
