It is seven years since the Government decided to bring in a very good policy at the end of December 2018 to stop trawlers over 18 m in length fishing within the six-mile limit. A significant part of that policy was to stop the unsustainable fishing for sprat. This is the seventh year of the policy. Unfortunately, because of the Government's or the Department's failure to carry out the consultation process properly, the policy was held void. We were promised by the previous Minister and Government that another policy was imminent and would be rolled out.

I agree with the policy. I was going to make the point that because of the High Court decision, the Department said it had to be exhaustive in terms of the second consultation to make sure that it would not fall foul of another court decision in the time ahead if someone challenged it. It was concluded last summer. The consultation is over now. My view now is that we need to move ahead and get this done. I will come back to the Deputy on that.
