Like all of us the Minister is aware of the terrible weather conditions at the back of last year. There were six storms in about three months. That had an effect on inshore fishermen, in particular trawlers under 15 m, many of whom had not been able to put to sea from 3 November up to early January. Has the Minister put any compensation packages in place to help the fishermen?
