It would be under health and safety, I suppose. I thank them all for their excellent work in recent days.

In west Cork along the coastline we had a storm with winds reaching a peak of 190 km/h and waves at 50 ft high. Fishing equipment has been severely damaged and lost, such as pots and so on. It cannot be insured. Will there be a replacement compensation package put in place for these fishermen, who have lost equipment worth tens of thousands of euro?
