“The Government will work to ensure that the sector and the coastal communities that depend on it are supported through the period ahead.”
The Taoiseach said the Government would “consider the detail of the text very carefully” but he believed the deal represents “a good compromise and balanced outcome.” Mr Martin said the fact that there would be no tariffs and quotas on trade between the EU and the UK, including on fish, was “a very significant achievement.”
But the Taoiseach warned there were “big changes still imminent for our businesses and our citizens” with new customs and regulatory formalities, procedures and checks.Mr Martin said that while he respected the UK’s decision to leave the EU, he “very much” regretted the decision but wished the UK well “in this new chapter in its history.”
“Our people, our histories and our economies are deeply entwined. As we move into the next phase of our relationship, we will work together to ensure that it remains deep and strong,” said the Taoiseach.
Sure we have the whole Atlantic. Surely there's enough for everyone
Well better them than a productive sector of the economy.
Will it effect my fresh cod and chips Mehole
Yeah the fishy deal . As fishy as it gets for the fishermen .
After 50 years of being sacrificed for the benefits of EU membership they should be accustomed to it by now.
Plenty money for the farmers the government can veto but wouldn’t have the balls
Hehe. Disappointed by the deal. Government distancing itself from a deal it just struck. What shitbags.
Our government stood idly by and sold out Irish fishing industry. AontuIE have been standing up for them. Not enough votes to matter for FF & FG? FISHINGINDUSTRY
Just wait for Irish waters to be hoovered up by EU mega trawlers
Fishermen fecked over once more .
