Patrick Murphy  spoke  about the concerns of the fishing industry in west Cork Region         

West fish producers organization representing some bigger boats say fishing is what Fishers do and they oppose any ban on larger boats everybody thinks of the big huge trawlers that are catching one species of fish called Sprat but this is going to affect every single boat over those sizes and when you look at the actual data

It’s very little that these boats are catching inside in these areas but they catch it when they need to catch it species that they cannot catch outside the 6 miles.
