“I'm learning, we're all learning from each other. It's the sharing of ideas. Maybe I'm being naive, but I don't think there's any competition. In the past young people would have left here because of the troubles, but now everybody's staying, and we're learning from each other and supporting each other.” — Paula McIntyre, The Food Programme

“The people that are ready for change will come forward. It's not about going out and trying to force someone to change. They're already in that headspace and they're positive, happy, forward-thinking people.” — Brona O'Kane, The Food Programme

“This is one of the problems that I have with some of the environmental standards saying don't eat that species and do eat that species. That is a very blunt instrument… If it's more about how it was caught rather than what it is, then that in its very nature is allowing a far greater biodiversity range of species to be taken out of the sea.” — Caroline Bennett, The Food Programme

“75% of the number of boats get just 4% of the quota. But what's even more shocking of late is that this 4% quota that they have, in recent years, they've not even been able to fish. So they have the ability to go and fish it, but the fish simply aren't on the ground.” — Caroline Bennett, The Food Programme
