Mr. John Lynch:

I thank the Deputy for the very good question. It has a very simple answer. It is completely irrelevant whether the figure is 50% or 70%. In terms of the trajectory of the stock, if what has gone on in the rogue states of Norway, the Faroe Islands, Iceland and, by default, the UK continues for another year, the advice next year will be the figure will be minus 100%. There will be no mackerel to be caught. That is a simple answer to the question. The mackerel that is provided for in swaps for whitefish, which is essential because of our small share in whitefish stocks, will be off the table. There will be absolutely nothing. It will be disastrous for the Irish fleet. That is all I can say.
