A full review of the common fisheries policy is needed in order to protect jobs in the industry and halt the rise in fish prices
A 45% drop in the amount of fish being landed in Ireland is having a severe knock on impact on the fish processing industry
Fishing organisations have warned that coastal communities heavily rely on the industry as there are few alternative ways to earn a living in these areas
Speaking to RedFM News Patrick Murphy of the Irish South and West Fish Producers organisation says the fishing industry needs a lifeline
"We need to go to Europe and call for a proper review of the Common Fisheries Policy. We're not processing our fish at home in our country to feed our people. It's madness"
