North's fishermen unhappy with cuts in EU quotas

Fishermen in the North are complaining about the latest EU deal on annual fishing quotas.

They are facing a 10% reduction in prawn catches and an 18% reduction for the whitefish fleet.

There will also be a cut of 18% in the amount of cod that can be caught, but an increase in the amount of haddock.

Fisheries Minister Michelle Gildernew says the EU had proposed bigger cuts, but fishermen say they are being put out of business.
