Ms Anna O'Sullivan:
I do not have that figure. There was a lot of work done in the run-up to Brexit on the quantity of fish caught in the various EEZs, between Ireland and the UK, say. We have that available and I can forward it to the committee. That will probably cover it. If we do not have it, it is something we can probably check with the Marine Institute, which would have those figures. What I have here is the figure for the quantity caught in the Irish EEZ. I do not have a comparison with an overall EU figure but I think we have that available and I can follow up on that.
