As spelled out the other night by people from the industry, it is critically important that we have very strict management and conservation regime because if we do not, we will regress very quickly to how we were in 1972 when our fisheries had to be closed. In fact, although the herring fishery had to be closed, it did replenish in a very short time allowing Irish boats to fish there again very lucratively. This is because it had the opportunity of replenishing. The same applies to cod, plaice and haddock in the Irish Sea. If the fisheries get the chance to replenish themselves they will do so, but they must be managed in an effective way. That management must come, not from the Minister for Communications, the Marine and Natural Resources, the Government or the EU, but from the industry itself. After all, it is the fishermen who have the most to lose if they do not take these initiatives that are so important to the survival and development of their own industry.
