Europe Have Declared Open War on Irish Fisheries Ireland’s Fishing Industry and Coastal Communities are under attack from EU Fishing Quota Cuts.
Independent Ireland’s Political Leader Deputy Michael Collins TD for Cork South West: tells Roisin Ni Chleirigh and Paul Brophy from the Irish Political Roundup that “Europe was never meant to distroy a nation it was supposed to build nations and smaller nations. It has now proven it has taken Ireland out as such as in fisheries. And now have declared open war on Irish fisheries. And one other thing I will say if the French government saw last weekend that 94million would be taken off a fish coder and 18 million off their own waters, there would have been bombs and bullets flying.”
The major crisis with Irish Fisheries after the European Union announced significant reductions in fishing quotas with. Ireland set to lose 57,000 tonnes of mackerel and €18 million in hake quotas, in a move industry representatives say could devastate livelihoods in coastal towns.
How large countries like France Germany and Poland blocked Ireland from using its “Hague Preferences ” which were introduced in 1976 to counter the impact of access to Irish waters provided to vessels of other EU nations and to account for Ireland’s underdeveloped fishing fleet.
