I thank the Chair and everybody who is listening in. I know the whole fishing community around Ireland is looking in on this meeting here today. It is crucial. I wish Mr. Cormac Burke well. I know he had his operation on Thursday and I hope everything is going well. We are thinking of him.

My first question is for Mr. O'Donnell. The Norwegians are overfishing mackerel stocks in Irish waters. Why are we allowing them to fish blue whiting in our waters?
