Ireland wins concessions on limits to Irish fish quotas being transferred

IRELAND has made some progress in seeking to restrict Irish fish quotas being transferred under this year’s EU-Norway fisheries agreement.

Minister of State in the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Sean Connick set out his strong opposition to Irish fish quotas being transferred under this year’s EU-Norway fisheries agreement.

Mr Connick set down clearly the parameters of a deal that Ireland could support with the Faroe Islands on mackerel.
