Sinn Fein claim that the budget allocation to fisheries and seafood for 2024 is almost half of the allocation for 2023.
Donegal TD Pádraig Mac Lochlainn accused Minister McConalogue of adding the EU Brexit Adjustment Reserve Fund and taking credit for what was essentially a redundancy payment to Ireland’s fishing industry in last years budget
“It’s time for honesty from the government rather than dishonesty and spin. Our fisheries and seafood industry has been failed by this government.
He says a change of government is urgently needed to give the fishing and seafood industry hope of a brighter future.
