Ms Anna O'Sullivan:
I do. We published a fisheries fact sheet in 2022. The Marine Institute and the Sea Fisheries Protection Authority provided the data for it and I can provide a copy to the clerk to circulate to the members of the committee. This was based on figures up to 2022. Approximately 530,000 tonnes of quota species were caught in the Irish EEZ.
