Crucial cross-border fisheries bill may not be law before Brexit

A cross-border fisheries bill crucial to protecting the industry in a crash-out no deal Brexit risks not being made law before the Brexit divorce date because of infighting among Irish politicians.

The Government has raised serious concerns about the situation, despite Fianna Fáil and Sinn Féin insisting they are not jeopardising the bill by urging further engagement with the industry before it is passed.
