Martin Ferris (Kerry North-West Limerick, Sinn Fein)

I fully support the Minister in his endeavours to ensure the quota system is preserved as it is. If there is a major deficiency in the Irish fleet, it is a lack of quota. In the negotiations on the CFP, I hope the Minister will do everything in his power to gain extra quota for Irish fisherman so they can have a sustainable income and a viable business.
