Mr. John O'Sullivan:

There were some very good contributions from everyone, especially about mackerel, what we should have and what we should not have. We have a great natural resource outside our door. We have the biggest and most productive waters in the EU. It is crazy that we have such a small percentage of the quotas. It is the same hymn sheet over and over again. People do not realise what sovereignty means. It means that, under law, we should be entitled to fish up to 60% or 70% of the fish in our waters. Where is the justice? Where are our rights? It is time to wake up because too many towns around Ireland, from Clogherhead all the way around to Greencastle, are being decimated. You can see it everywhere. It is about time this stopped because this is a massive resource that will provide food security going forward. We have to wake up. It will be a shame if we do not.
