Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs
Sustaining Viable Rural Communities: Discussion (Resumed)
2:15 pm
Mr. John D. Sullivan:
We have the richest fishing grounds in the world. One needs to see the fleet of boats in our waters as the number of French and Spanish boats is unreal and they are fishing for whitefish in the demersal zone. There are also the big factory ships and the Dutch super trawlers are wreaking havoc off our coast, especially in species such as horse mackerel and in mackerel as well.
