The issues raised by Deputy Fitzpatrick relate to management, but this Bill does not deal with fisheries management issues. It is not a panacea for every ill in the fishing industry. It seeks only to establish the principle of access or, more correctly, to reinstate it. The issues of fisheries management are broader.

Deputy Pringle asked what is caught on average in the six-mile zone. I have figures for the 200-mile zone.
