Charlie McConalogue (Donegal, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I am very well aware of the issue in Rossaveal. Deputy Ó Cuív has raised it with me on several occasions and is constantly pushing on it. I will continue to assess the situation. I fought very hard on the Porcupine Bank at the EU fisheries Council meeting in December and we will return to it at the next EU Council meeting. I hope we will have additional quota between now and the end of March to increase our prawn fishery in the Porcupine Bank.

On the common fisheries policy, I have clearly outlined that I will forthrightly put forward the Irish national position. It is always a challenging review and every country bats for itself. The Deputy can be assured that I will do all I can, particularly in relation to the outcome of Brexit and the impact that will have on our quota, to make sure these things are taken into account and made clear.
