"The European Commissioner for Fisheries and Maritime Affairs, Joe Borg, began a visit to Ireland this morning."

"“I am looking forward to hearing from Irish stakeholders what their particular problems are and their suggestions for tackling them. I believe that dialogue among the interested parties is the surest way to identify the best solutions to respond to the challenges that the fisheries sector is facing."
It might be worthwhile for Irish Anglers to drop him a line, telling him how important Recreational Sea Angling is to Ireland, and the need for fish stock management measures that can be used to develop the sector for the better benefit of Ireland.
Oh! and why did he not take the opportunity to talk to Irish Anglers and those dependent on the Recreational Angling Sector, and the fish stocks that sustain its value.
