Can I also raise again with the Taoiseach the concerns which have arisen about the future of our fishing industry following Brexit? The British fishing industry wants to exclude all foreign boats, which includes us, from its fisheries zone after Brexit. That will directly impact on at least 36% of fish caught by this State’s meagre fishing fleet. It means other fishing fleets will increase their activities. What measures is the Taoiseach proposing to protect our fishing industry?
