I will deal with this quickly. Many European Union member states introduced a fuel support scheme. I engaged repeatedly with the former Minister, Deputy McConalogue, but he did not go for it. When the Minister of State is engaging with the fishing representative organisations, are they still asking for this? My understanding is that those in the inshore sector particularly are. The figure would be 20 cent of fuel aid per litre. It has been a really big hit for a sector that is under pressure. I want to get a sense of the Minister of State's thoughts on that.
