Joint Oireachtas Committee on Fisheries and Maritime Affairs

Inshore Fishing: National Inshore Fishermen's Association

2:00 am

Mr. Michael Foley:

I am not thinking of leaving. I come from a fishing background. Records started in 1864 and I can trace fishing back on my father’s side of the family to that, and I would say another 200 or 300 years before that. I can, on paper, prove that my family has fished since 1864. It is a way of life and I would like to carry it on. I do not want to be pushed out of something I love.
