THE Donegal crabbing fishing industry faces potential destruction due to new regulations from Europe which came into effect following Brexit.
The warning was sounded this week after it emerged that 37 crabbing vessels around the Donegal coast can no longer land their catch at their local piers because they have British fishing licences.
Some of these boats are currently tied up off Tory, Arranmore and Burtonport amid growing fears that they may be forced to jettison their catches.
Post-Brexit restrictions on where Northern Ireland boats can land their catch in the Republic of Ireland mean that NI-registered vessels can now land at just two Irish ports – Killybegs and Castletownbere in Cork.
