Conor McGuinness: Unfortunately, I have an unavoidable clash, so I will take my leave of the meeting in a few moments. The Leas-Chathaoirleach, Deputy Gallagher, will take the Chair for the remainder of the meeting. I apologise for that. Before I go, I want to make a few comments.

Conor McGuinness: This budget has left workers and families feeling angry, deflated and abandoned. If you have been listening to any media during the day or saw "Prime Time" last night or any of the coverage, you will know that. Certainly, that is the clear sense on the ground in Waterford among my constituents. People see through the spin. They see a Government that can find billions in tax breaks for...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Fisheries and Maritime Affairs: Quotas, Common Fisheries Policy and Sustainability Impact Assessment: Discussion (14 Oct 2025)
Conor McGuinness: I thank Mr. Murphy. I have a couple of questions, particularly for Mr. Lynch.

They are different fisheries, particularly in terms of the...
