Mr. John Menarry:

It is laughable that we have such a small share of herring quota in Donegal. Of the fish we catch, some of it is being block frozen and shipped to the Mediterranean to fatten bluefin tuna that have swum in our waters. They are caught in the Mediterranean, put into cages and fattened. Not only are the bluefin tuna here feeding on our stocks, the wee bits that we do catch are being shipped off to follow them to the Mediterranean to feed them up even further.
