A Sinn Fein MEP is accusing the Minister
for the Marine, Simon Coveney of deserting the smaller fishing men and women in
Ireland. Liadh Ni Riada, who represents Ireland South, says the EU fishing quotas
are killing the smaller fishing industries in Ireland. She’s arguing that Minister
Coveney could do a lot more to help these struggling fishermen by renegotiating
the fishing quota system. She’s also calling for a single boat payment system to
help subsidise the livelihoods of fishermen living on the margins.
