Plans to scrap a third of fleet
This is part of the overall plan to reduce the number of fishermen and boats by 45%, as proposed in the Cawley report, in an effort to reduce illegal fishing and ensure the remaining fishermen make a living.
The Commission is expected to approve the plan next month, which will see state money being paid out to decommission 11,000 gross tonnes worth of Irish fishing vessels.
