I welcome the student council of St. Catherine's Vocational School in Killybegs to the Visitors Gallery. Recently, we have seen fish being landed in Derry for processing in Killybegs. The Sea-Fisheries Protection Authority, SFPA, has now removed the permission to land there, presumably because it is not a recognised EU port. The Northern Ireland protocol supposedly treats the Six Counties as inside the EU. Does this not apply to fish landings? What is the situation? The fish should be landed in Derry, transported to Killybegs and processed there as of right. What is the situation in respect of the protocol?
