Following The Irish Times report on Thursday that the €5 billion Brexit Adjustment Reserve fund is the subject of fierce rivalry with France, which is seeking much of the pot as compensation for fishermen, Mr Coveney said that “Ireland is certainly going to be first in line for that in the levels of disruption we have to deal with”.
During parliamentary questions Mr Coveney told the Dáil “I am confident that Ireland will do well in the context of that Brexit adjustment fund which should not be seen as a fishery fund.” “The Government is interested in protecting fishing interests to ensure we have a fishing industry in the future.”
