There's no reason why other EU Member states shouldn't support Ireland's recommendations on changes to the Common Fisheries Policy.
That's according to Minister for Agriculture, Charlie McConalogue, who spoke on the matter at a meeting of the EU Fisheries Council in Luxembourg yesterday.
Among the recommendations made by the Minister were increases to the Irish quotas, as well as fish caught in Irish waters being landed into Irish ports.
Speaking to Ocean FM News, the Donegal TD said these recommendations would boost employment in the Irish fishing industry.
