-----and we received the final judgment in that court case a few months ago. My team and I have been working on this and doing all the preparatory work that is necessary to start this again. The Deputy will understand, given our previous experience relating to the court challenge, which ultimately knocked it down, that we have to be very careful and judicious in each step of that. This is something I want to step forward as quickly as possible. I am very concerned about what is going on with larger vessels, particularly regarding sprat in the inshore inside the 12-mile zone. I want to take this forward and can assure the Deputy we are doing all we can to take it forward as quickly as we can to get to the stage where we get the successful outcome we want to see here. I thank the Deputy for raising this issue.
