I thank Mr. Murphy. I have a couple of questions, particularly for Mr. Lynch. They relate to the Celtic Sea and Irish Sea and the key asks that are coming from members of the Irish South and East Fish Producers Organisation in terms of the quota negotiations, which include and will be aligned with the asks of the wider industry. They are different fisheries, particularly in terms of the nephrops. The scientific advice is not published yet and we do not have sight of that, but what are the asks?
Mr. Lynch mentioned the bycatch TAC as well. In a nutshell, what are the Irish and South East Fish Producers Organisation's members looking for Government to deliver from Brussels?
