On behalf of the committee, I wish to thank representatives from the Killybegs Fishermen’s Organisation, the Irish Fish Producers Organisation, the Irish South and West Fish Producers Organisation and the Irish South and East Fish Producers Organisation for briefing us today on their concerns regarding quotas and decommissioning. The joint committee will meet the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy McConalogue, tomorrow on the topic of the upcoming EU Agriculture and Fisheries Council, AGRIFISH, meeting to set fish quotas. We will raise their concerns with the Minister.

This meeting is now adjourned. The next public meeting of the joint committee will be held tomorrow, Thursday, 9 December. That will be the meeting with the Minister on these hugely important issues for the fishing industry. I thank the secretariat and the witnesses. The meeting is now adjourned.
