What I am hearing from people out catching is that when they land at the dock or harbour, the amount of paperwork they are required to have is getting on top of some of them, no more than in farming. It is the same thing. Where does all this come from? The EU has addressed this issue for smaller farmers, even though the size that has been chosen means it will not make any difference in Ireland, although it might help smaller farmers in other parts of Europe.

They are saying they are going to reduce penalties and paperwork for a certain cohort. In my opinion, they should rise it up a way more. Is there anything like that coming from Europe to try to make things more attractive for people to stay at it?
