Fishery Policy: Statements.
This debate has been useful and welcome. I was impressed by what the Minister of State said because I realised how much was being done but I also realised how careful we must be in the future if we are to succeed. There is a huge potential which we and those in the industry recognise but we must be careful. There is a lovely seanfhocal I remember from my school days which suits this debate – Éist le fuaim na habhann agus gheobhaidh tú bradán, Listen to the sound of the river if you are going to catch a salmon. The marketplace presents a huge opportunity for us and if we listen carefully to it we can make a success of this. Let us make sure we do.
