I propose to take Questions Nos. 380 and 381 together.

Atlantic Dawn Ltd was allocated some 2,927 tonnes of mackerel quota and 706 tonnes of horse mackerel quota for 2007 in respect of the MFV Atlantic Dawn. Some 343 tonnes of mackerel remained uncaught at the time of the Atlantic Dawn's deregistration. This 343 tonnes has now reverted to the National pool. There was no horse mackerel uncaught.

Atlantic Dawn Ltd was also allocated some 271 tonnes of herring in the North West fishery. This fishery closed to all participants on 9 February 2007, before the Atlantic Dawn was deregistered. The Atlantic Dawn caught none of its allocation. All allocations of herring in the North West fishery uncaught at 9 February reverted to the National pool.
