  1. Damn EU and their regulations, can’t you see the fishermen want to destroy their industry

  2. Meanwhile, we have about a dozen navy members. It isn’t just us exploiting our waters, factory ships from about 10 other European countries are destroying our stocks.

  3. I hate to be that “but the EU guy”, because i’m very much pro-EU.

    But I’m also from an area that has lost A LOT of jobs due to EU fishing quotas.
    Meanwhile, French/Spanish and other countries ships come in and fish 100+ times more than our lads do, it’s not even comparable.

  4. The fishermen were thrown under a bus to protect the farmers. Unpopular with the fishermen obviously but better for Ireland inc in the long run.
