Ceist:30 Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for the Marine if he will improve the schemes available for fishermen choosing to retire early from fishing in order that they are at least as beneficial as schemes with similar objectives available to farmers in view of the fact that fishermen often face hardship after decommissioning, such as inadequacy of funding to clear overheads and a lack of any pension for ex-fishermen.
