Joint Oireachtas Committee on Fisheries and Maritime Affairs
Sprat Fishing: Discussion
2:00 am
Ms Sinéad McSherry:
The Deputy's second question related to the matter raised earlier on the actions by third countries in respect of the pelagic fleet. I cannot speak to the direct negotiations on Brexit. They are what happened. The key piece relates to fishing opportunities for 2026 and that we analyse carefully the advice that comes out today. The impact of overfishing from those third countries will be evident in that advice. How Ireland interacts with the negotiations and the TAC and quota regulation for 2026 will be very important. To reiterate, that discussion will be here on 14 October.
