I want to support Senator Boyle and Deputy Mac Lochlainn on what they have said. What does the Minister of State have to say about the Department gradually pulling support from the fisheries? In budget 2023, it was €337 million; in budget 2024, it was €176 million; in budget 2025, it was €177 million; and in budget 2026, it is €157 million.

On the BAR funding, I am not sure of my figures on this but is there €213 million left unspent? Was there analysis done on why that happened?

There was a suggestion earlier that there was possibly poor drafting of schemes, perhaps by BIM. The Minister of State might comment on that.

Will he commit to visiting Castletownbere as he visited Killybegs?
