Inshore Fisheries

The Minister knows that the inshore sector has been struggling. There has been a failure to look at giving herring and mackerel a broader fishery. The impact of Brexit has made that more difficult. There has been the failure of the Government to provide a fuel subsidy. We have huge increases in fuel costs. Now the latest is the collapse of the market for brown crab. Deputy McConalogue, as a Minister from Donegal, is aware of the serious impact that is having. What financial supports will he provide? What intervention will he make?
