On behalf of the committee, I thank the Minister and his officials for briefing us today on the sustainable impact assessment for the upcoming AGRIFISH Council meeting to set fish quotas. Like other members, I wish the Minister the very best of luck in achieving a satisfactory outcome for our fishing industry at the weekend. Hopefully, the negotiations will achieve the outcome that we all want to see.

I remind members that at 5.30 p.m. on Wednesday next, the select committee will be meeting to take Committee Stage of the Animal Health and Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021.
