I am no expert on fish, as I am located fairly well inland. However, the previous group who were in mentioned that due to the change in weather, there is a lot of bluefin tuna off the Irish coast but our fishermen cannot fish them. Is there any attempt at an EU level to allow Ireland to facilitate this species? I understand boats from other countries can come into our area and catch bluefin tuna. The reason I am inquiring is due to this change. Is there a quota being fought for or being given to Ireland to facilitate our fishermen?
