This is a serious economic element of the fishing industry. It may appear frivolous, but that is not the case. Lobster and prawns, for example are exported from this country. One can get them in Paris but not here. If we treat our excellent raw materials with respect, it will help us to develop our tourist industry. Instead of giving tourists from abroad these little waterlogged efforts from the Far East – tiger prawns that taste like rubber tyres – we should give them good Dublin Bay prawns.
