I thank the witnesses for their opening submissions. I have a couple of questions. Mr. O'Donnell spoke about the Shannon system and the navigation and said he feels additional legislation is needed to prevent invasive species being spread. I live in that part of the world and we have a lot of boats that go from the Shannon system into the Erne system via the canals and all of that. Legislating for it is one thing, but whether the infrastructure is there to do it is the other.
