No, it is not. We had similar structured dialogue prior to Brexit. We need a structured approach with the fishing industry to deal with the issues in a frank and realistic way and to deal with how we can best help the industry to deal with the significant challenges before it. Unfortunately, distortions that we were against having a debate on the fishing industry were put about the place. A screen-grab of a vote on the Order of Business was used to distort. Someone voting to have an Order of Business was somehow transformed into someone being against the fishing industry. It is disreputable behaviour that that kind of stuff goes on in modern politics. The Deputies should be a bit more mature than that.
