Euro delegation to meet Irish fishermen

A six-person delegation from the European Parliament's fisheries committee is due to visit Ireland today for talks with representatives of the Irish fishing industry.

The MEPs are due to visit Dublin and Killybegs, Co Donegal, to discuss the unresolved issue of access to the so-called Irish Box for Spanish fishermen.

The problem of dwindling stocks due to over-fishing in European waters will also be discussed.
