Committee on Fisheries and Maritime Affairs: Extension of EU-UK Trade Agreement and Implications for the Irish Fishing and Seafood Industry: Discussion (12 Jun 2025)

Jennifer Whitmore: Perfect. I will have to take a look at that.

Committee on Fisheries and Maritime Affairs: Extension of EU-UK Trade Agreement and Implications for the Irish Fishing and Seafood Industry: Discussion (12 Jun 2025)

Jennifer Whitmore: This comes back to what Mr. Lynch was saying about what the sanctions could be. The trade agreements seem to provide an obvious sanction. However, as with everything in Europe, these things move very slowly. Is there anything Ireland can do in our own right? Could a case be taken or something like that, if even just to highlight the issue?
