Kinsale - Deep Sea Angling, Wildlife & Diving.

 

Normally we would be wishing you all a very Happy Christmas now. But now it is bad news. On 12/Dec/25, NETHERLANDS, FRANCE, GERMANY & POLAND voted down Ireland's EU-promised HAGUE PROTECTION MECHANISM, (a mechanism the EU promised would protect IRELAND's small, economically-fragile fishing fleet and fishing infrastructure, including fish processing plants, from economic shocks). This betrayal marks the introduction of crippling fish-quota cuts upon Ireland's fishing fleet that will be devastating for Irish coastal communities and fishers. Kinsale is just one such community. These quota cuts are additional to recent large quotas "taken" from Ireland to appease the UK at Brexit-time so that other EU states could access the UK fish stocks. These new cuts now imposed on Ireland painfully reminds us of the obvious - successive Irish Governments have been unable to bargain within the EU for fair access for Ireland to her own resources. Meanwhile, the huge fleets from  other EU states are allowed overfish our stocks while Ireland is made to pay for the greedy self-interest of our so-called EU partners. EU FAILED IRELAND.
