It was always considered necessary to have a separate entity to market fish. Most of our fish is exported so it is most important that this entity remain in place. The Minister of State's colleague from Wexford will have a short honeymoon as chairman of BIM if the two bodies are to be merged, although perhaps he will emerge as the chairman of both bodies. The fishing industry is worth €547 million in exports and there should be careful consideration before merging BIM and Bord Bia. I would expect a reaction against it.
