Patrick Murphy described the area as "very important" for fishermen and said they want to protect biodiversity and marine life.
The fishing organisation said it had been contacted by an official of the Russian Embassy in Dublin - and that they spoke after 2pm this afternoon. Tonight, the Irish South and West Fish Producers said they have had further contact with an official at the Russian Embassy in Dublin. "So there's fierce risks in this. We feel that this is serious. You just had the minister on, Eamon Ryan, saying how critical fuel is.
"It's no different to fishermen, this is our ground, this is our farm, this is where we earn our living.
Again the Saving of Civilization falls on Irish shoulders!
Why tf are those terrorists from the Eastern country even allowed to exercise any 'training' there? Change the laws, ban them from international waters.
What’s Russian for ‘foul range’?
Fair play lads. You speak for all of us.
tconnellyRTE An act of stupidly only the likes of fishermen are capable of.

Well done Irish Fishermen. Russia has the whole of the Atlantic Ocean to do their exercises, whumy are they interfering in Irish fishing? Are their boats so unseaworthy they don't dare to venture too far from land mfa_russia
tconnellyRTE Absolutely top lads. I wish them well.
tconnellyRTE Good on them the Irish navy if they have one should be out there to ensure the Russian is not entering the 200 miles limit
Perhaps ring the Icelanders for backup? 🤷♀️
maddow. Thanks for covering this story. We’re Irish, and we all smiled when you said the Russians are going to mess w/ Ireland. Yes, bless the fisherman guarding their lively hoods and the sea! Wanna bet they have more on their boats than nets. Ur ticking off the wrong ppl.
Like mice trying to intimidate a cat. Foolish.
You’re codding me
😂😂😂
RTE's nepotism has left it with few journos.
The Russians are warmongers.
It’ll be the Russian sailor and Johnny Morrissey all over again. Let’s hope the result is the same.
Send this lad in...
“Getdafukouttahere, we’re fishing”, is a powerful weapon...
Well someone needs to do something. Fair play! I would hope they would be joined by the navy too………US maybe and Irish would handy.
I mean…🥴
So begins the great Russo-Irish war.
That would be both very illegal, and very dangerous.
Great to see, fair play to the fishermen, hopefully the government will send a couple navy ships also to keep an eye out for them.
There is a thyme and a plaice for a peaceful protest.
