Fishing Industry
Dail Éireann — 2025-10-14
============================================================

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn (SF), Donegal

The Minister of State and I had an extensive engagement at the fisheries committee earlier today. These proposals are devastating. There is a 70% cut to the recommended mackerel total allowable catch, TAC, 41% for blue whiting and 22% for boarfish while a zero TAC is recommended for cod, haddock and whiting. I would like to engage with the Minister of State on the Government's plan.
