Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I can get the Deputy a list of them. There are 41 of them, so I am not going to start listing them here today. I would like to think that there is nobody in this House who is more concerned about the future of the fishing industry than me. I worked tirelessly to ensure that we got the best possible deal in a Common Fisheries Policy. We have more than doubled our European Maritime and Fisheries Fund from the €70 million negotiated by the last Government to €148 million this year, and we will match or part-match that fund with Exchequer money, which needs to be negotiated over the summer.
