What happened when you went to London?
Well, we did an awful lot of television coverage and the newspapers and so on. But the big day was the day we were invited to meet the ministers in the Houses of Parliament to thrash out some of the points that we wanted implemented in the fishing industry. We wanted decasualisation. We wanted a mothership to oversee the fishermen in the trawlers in the very bad weather, with a doctor on board because that’s something they didn’t have. If a trawlerman was taken ill he had to be taken to the nearest port. It could be days away. So aspects of it like that, we wanted to put to the ministers.
