Perhaps it has...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Weighing of Fisheries Products: Discussion (18 May 2022)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: It is very peculiar. I am sure Mr. Hayes will accept that this committee finds it peculiar that it is only now that a weighing permit is being removed.

Post-European Council Meeting: Statements (6 Apr 2022)

Pádraig Mac Lochlainn: ..., CFP and Europe is the place to make that fight and get our fair share. What we are doing in this country is punishing fishermen more and more.

The...
