Sinn Féin MEP Liadh Ní Riada calls for action on super trawlers

The Government has been urged to take action on super trawlers, otherwise known as freezer factory vessels.

Sinn Féin MEP Liadh Ní Riada said these vessels have been netting huge quantities of fish along the Irish west and north-west coast since November. #

She said Kerry North–West Limerick TD Martin Ferris recently told the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food, and the Marine that 12 pelagic factory boats have been fishing off Donegal.
