The recent Barlow judgment in the Supreme Court has the effect of making it illegal for any Northern Ireland registered fishing vessel to fish within the 12 mile limit of the State. This is having a huge impact on fishermen, particularly in Greencastle in County Donegal. It would need primary legislation to reverse this decision. Does the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine have any plans to deal with this matter urgently?
