Fishermen makes plea over major Brexit fallout issue at Greencastle

 

An Inishowen fisherman is pleading with both the Marine Minister and the Government to resolve issues of landing catch at Greencastle.
A significant number of fishermen in the county are said to be impacted by the Brexit fallout issue, whereby their vessel is registered in the UK and is now only permitted to dock either in Killybegs or Cork.
