Fishermen call on Government for real supports amid anticipated impact of Brexit
Fishermen say the Government must put forward real supports, and 'not just nice words' to help them through Brexit.
Industry representatives met with the Taoiseach and the Ministers for Agriculture and Foriegn Affairs yesterday.
It's after the Killybegs Fishermen's Organisation hit out at the trade deal when it was announced on Thursday, saying it had 'failed' them.
CEO Sean O'Donoghue says it'll be a collaborative effort to address the issue, "We have an agreement from the Taoiseach and the two ministers, that they will work with us on a collaborative basis, not in terms of just giving us a nice word, but actually getting something concrete to address something that's really serious for the Irish fishing industry".
