Bill to reinstate North-South fishing deal passes Dáil

The bill will reinstate a North-South fishing deal that existed from the 1960s until 2016, allowing fishing vessels from Northern Ireland fish in Republic of Ireland inshore waters and vice versa.The debate on the controversial legislation took place in the Dáil this afternoon.

She claimed that these vessels have come in and pillaged the mussel stocks in Irish waters off the Wexford coast. Mr Creed said that the bill is about restoring the Voisinage Agreement that operated successfully for decades. He said that "as citizens of this island that is the right thing to do". The Labour Party's agriculture spokesperson Willie Penrose warned that the Dáil needs to "thread carefully" in case vessels come in from all over the place to fish in Irish waters.

Mr Wallace was critical of the "aggressive fishing" by Northern Ireland vessels of mussel seed stock off Wexford.

It's a pity people are criticising these politicians on how they look rather than being critical of how or government still continues to sell off our resources.

Sorry, but this looks like the out-takes for The Adams Family.
