EU Member States Must Share Burden of Brexit Fisheries Loss, Industry Leader Says

EU coastal states “haven’t taken the same hit” as Ireland in losing access to British fishing grounds and “must burden share”, an industry leader said.
The fishing industry is “not interested” in financial compensation, and wants to ensure it “gets fish back” if coastal communities are to survive, Killybegs Fishermen’s Organisation (KFO) chief executive Sean O’Donoghue has said.
Speaking on Newstalk Radio’s Pat Kenny Show today before appearing at an Oireachtas committee, Mr O’Donoghue said that if the total loss to nine coastal states is valued at 182 million euro, Ireland should have lost some 20 million euro in quotas.
