Creed: ‘Reckless’ Fianna Fáil fishing vote will cost State €40m

The Agriculture Minister has hit out at Fianna Fáil for voting down new EU fishing laws in a move set to cost Ireland €40m, and says any new deal supporting the Government must contain a clause preventing the opposition from blocking other important legislation.

Fine Gael will only accept a new confidence and supply agreement if Fianna Fáil expands its support to vital legislation, Michael Creed suggested.
