Mr. Eamon Dixon:

I will come in on that. When we talk to the Department, we are being told at every turn that these quotas are a national asset and every member of the State has a right to them. It is the case that all these quotas, whatever they are for, should be shared out in a fair and viable manner. As inshore fishermen, when it comes to any quota, not just the ones we have discussed, we are always at the bottom of the pile. Regulations are forcing us in such a way as to make it almost impossible for us to continue. That is the way we feel as inshore fishermen. Even if there is a quota by times, there are regulations around it that make it so difficult to try to make it viable to land it.
