On inshore fishermen, the aquaculture sector and the fishing species quota, my objective is to support them in every way I can and I will be monitoring the situation closely. This is particularly the case with the follow-through from Brexit with the potential for a tie-up scheme to try to support incomes in the short term and the time ahead. I will also monitor the situation on our shellfish, our aquaculture and inshore sector.

On the EU administrative inquiry findings, this dates back to an inquiry that was initiated in 2019 and the conclusion of that inquiry was communicated to me just before Christmas. I have been assessing the findings of the EU Commission on that in advance of engaging with the Commission on its findings. I am certain that this is something that we will be discussing further.
