Any option or idea will be fully explored. My objective as Minister is to ensure our sector is as strong as it possibly can be at European level and we have a strong quota for the various species.

In particular, I want to address the outcome we have seen from Brexit. I am working closely with the sector on this and I will fully explore and take forward any idea and suggestion. Ultimately, our objective is to ensure fishermen have fish to catch while at the same time recognising they will have to be supported to address what is an inevitable outcome from Brexit.
