I thank everyone for their contributions this evening. I am certainly happy to have this debate any time the Dáil seeks time and for as long as is necessary. If the Business Committee wanted to allocate more time to everyone and more time for answers, I would be delighted because there is more nonsense spewed on social media and more misinformation on the fishing sector than any other. You cannot beat discussing issues face to face, eyeball to eyeball, and teasing them out in sufficient detail. That is why I go around the country and why I have gone to the vast majority of piers and harbours to meet fishermen directly. It is why I am having a community meeting in Killybegs tonight. It is to meet representatives locally and talk real turkey, talk straight and cut through the myth and nonsense we often see.
