A Midlands-North West MEP has warned of further attempts by Nordic countries to seek greater access to Ireland’s fish stock.
Colm Markey has made the comments following a recent meeting with the Taoiseach and representatives of the Irish fishing sector.
Norway has previously unsuccessfully sought unfettered access to Irelands’ blue whiting grounds.
MEP Markey, who is a member of the European Parliament’s Fisheries Committee says Ireland must stand its ground during negotiations on 2024 fishing opportunists.
