Waterford Sinn Féin TD Conor D. McGuinness raised the issue during a debate on fisheries in the Dáil
Waterford fishermen have warned of an “emergency” situation for the fishing industry, the Dáil has heard.
The issue was raised by Waterford Sinn Féin TD Conor D. McGuinness during a debate on fisheries.
Deputy McGuinness said: “Across every coastal county from Louth to Donegal, down to Waterford and Cork, fishers and processors now face the perfect storm of quota cuts, rising costs, loss of traditional fishing grounds and continued overfishing by external states.
“The result is a crisis or, more accurately, an emergency,” he added.
