Post-European Council: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2020-12-16
============================================================

Thomas Pringle (IND), Donegal

The Minister of State mentioned the Brexit adjustment reserve. It has been widely reported that the French are looking to use that reserve to offset losses in the fishing industry. Does that mean that fishing has been sold out and gone as a result of Brexit? Ultimately, we will go along with what the French decide because I imagine we will not fight for the fishing industry.
