Holly Cairns (SD), Cork South-West

Small-scale fishers operate on very tight margins. The ongoing rise in fuel costs over the past few years has impacted these boats significantly. Other countries such as France and Spain have supported small scale fishers with high fuel costs through the European Maritime Fisheries and Aquaculture Fund. Will the Minister introduce a similar scheme to assist small scale fishers with fuel costs?
