- The Republic of Ireland is a fishing nation with waters rich in all kinds of sea life. But with Brexit, Ireland has lost fishing quotas in British waters, and with the Irish government, in agreement with Brussels, approving an €80 million plan to scrap around sixty fishing boats - almost one third of the Irish fleet - in exchange for subsidies, the future looks bleak. In the port of Castletownbere, 16 boats will be scrapped, a tragedy for the fishing town.

The fishing industry in the UK was destroyed by the EU in the 1970’s. They gradually eroded the local quotas and eventually actually paid British fishermen to comprehensively destroy their boats, making it impossible for them to ever be recovered and made viable again. To this day there are many dozens of of decaying wrecks to be found in towns like Fleetwood, and those towns have never recovered. As an example Fleetwood was flourishing, with a thriving fishing industry, and is to this day a town with a benefits culture dependancy. And you want to blame Brexit? This is one of the many many reasons that the majority of British people voted for Brexit.
I'd love so much for us to leave the EU,we know we will never get everything to ourselves but if we left least we would be in a position to tell the EU to fuck off
@@felucca100 I feel your pain! Unfortunately the UK has not left properly, and they are constantly working on ways of pulling us back into the fold, essentially meaning that we have left in name only.
@sapete1936 that's because civil servants benefit from not leaving and so do government ministers. If anything when labour get in power we'll be back under the freedom of movement and single market. Brexit could of worked but too many idiots didn't want it too.
My great grandfather was born in Adrigole down the road from Castletownbere. I've visited that area (Beara Penninsula) a few times and connected with the extended family. Wonderful community. I also grew up working Lobster boats in New England. Fisherman are the real deal. Salt of the Earth. It's sad to see how this is all unfolding. Hopefully they can get it figured out and save the industry and the community.
@dmazeau Irish Waters are plundered daily by Dutch, Belgian, French, Spanish, German. Danish and even Lithuanian-flagged but Dutch-owned Fishing boats while Norway is permitted by Brussels to catch approx 25% of the total EU Quota for Blue Whiting in Irish Waters each Spring. Irish boats are permitted to catch no more than 17% of our own Fish Stocks in our own waters while we watch as all other EU States plunder our Fish Stocks and collapse and destroy our Coastal Communities. If this were permitted to happen in French and Spanish Waters then Government Buildings in both Paris and Madrid would be in flames and both French and Spanish Fishermen and their communities would descend on Brussels and burn the place to the ground.
The Irish lad and his two sons "look very happy" about the supposedly "very sad scenario" of several generations
of their fishing family finishing-up, WHAT EXACTLY DO WE HAVE HERE? perhaps some of the "old fishing fleet"
being "upgraded" with new vessels? As refurbishing the old fleet, might cost more than buying brand new state-of-
the-art fishing boats. The Syracuse isn't stuck in a Brooklyn Office, fixing lunch, it's getting "built" in a boat builders
building, the Robyn isn't playing second fiddle to the Syracuse, it's also getting built in a state-of-the-art boat builders
workshop, perhaps even the same one, perhaps down the road. It's a big gamble to go-out fishing, especially deep-sea
fishing, you have to know what you're doing, and the vessel has to be up-to-scratch. You can't learn how-to-fish playing
video games, and you can't learn how to fish, in a Brooklyn Restaurant, or a Brooklyn Cafe, or a Broadway Theater,
or a Broadway Show, YOU HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO FISH ON THE WAVES. The Irish, Dutch, Belgium, French, Spanish,
German, Danish, even Lithuanian & Latvians are all fishing out of their fishing ports, just as they have done for Millennia.
German ?! 😂 nooo we have only 1 big sea fishing boat left
@@alterfalter6154 Your entire Fishing Licenses and Licensed Capacity of Fishing Boats are owned by the Dutch. Germany's Quotas are what matters and Germany continues to have enormous Quotas in Irish Waters but German Owners sold all those entitlements to the Dutch during the 1990's and early 2000's
The Dutch were paying big money for licence and quotas though, the British pelagic boats struggled to compete with the big Dutch companies, and we all know that the Spanish boats were never checked by fisheries officers in ports like Kinlochbervie, Clash, Scrabster etc, it was a fucking joke that still infuriates what I saw at my time at the fishing, the Spanish and French governments essentially closed the sdeep water species which were non quota to any other fleets, and most of that was in Scotttish and Irish grounds @@watchfulrasputin
@@user-se6vg7mr1z Both families who owned the Syracuse & Robyn J have stopped fishing and have retired from the industry. Neither boat is being rebuilt. The Licenses for both boats are kaput and gone forever with the monies received for decommissioning barely paying off the liabilities of both boats. You are talking rubbish. A large swathe of Ireland's fishing community have been banished from Ireland's Fishing Grounds forever while the numbers of foreign boats and the amounts of fish caught by them are ever increasing.
Hard to believe these hard working Irish folk in their own waters not having a suitable quota, yet foreign vessel's have more, any person with a brain obviously not politicians should see this.
Greetings from Ireland, I live by the sea and this is sad to watch
It's sicking what the government has done.
Blessings and good luck for all Irish fishermen and all fishermen
We sold our rights to our fishing grounds to Europe , why well farming was more important. Thousands of jobs lost not just to fishing but reserach and conservation.....
The Irish Sea must have lost 80% of its cod stocks through the clowns running our countries.
Blame the EU and its Common fishing policies.That's what's caused it.
@@jacobcohen9205it dose not help when the government didnt fight for the irish fishermen
@@joeruddy5276 Why would the UK government fight for Irish fishermen? The Irish government is bound by the EU it signed up to. That's what the loss of Sovereign power means, bud. The Irish lost their Sovereignty when they joined up.
Slainte.
I remember my grandfather taking me fishing in his boat in the summer holidays off the Isle of Man in the seventies. We always came back with a few Cod and loads of Mackerel.
I still go fishing and haven't caught a Cod in twenty years of trying. Still a few mackerel but nothing like there was then.
Bugger all Herring where once the Irish sea was alive with them in the summer months.
It's the price of been in the EU.
Decisions are taken without Irish involvement.
The Norwegians have been given Irish quota, in return for the French to fish in Norwegian waters.
Its a pity that the Irish did not back the UK during the Brexit negotiations but made it as difficult as possible. Now they are reaping the reward.
Why would the Irish support purposely inflicting economic self harm like the UK has ? The British have a track record with Ireland of taking as much as they can and not keeping their word even if its UK law which they did during the negotiations even to themselves like illegally closing parliament. Fact is the Irish did support the UK once they came up with proposals that could work and agreed to amending what had been agreed after the UK failed to implement the original agreement.
its European Union which is taking away our right to fish the Irish government is just the yes men
@@StormTrooperEX thats why the UK opted to leave an undemocratic institution.
It was allways on the cards for the EU to destroy the Irish fleet , As they want the lions share for themselves
As European fishing reduces in UK waters it's obvious they will fish there waters harder. No big news.
This is all the EU!
Sad, rest of EU fishermen should be allowed only what Irish do not take from quota. Irish government should fight brussels for their fisherman, maybe they got other deals they though more important (to them and not for remote communities)… french government fears their fishermen. Too many things don't make sense, dutch and polish factory ship scoop the seabass in winter when they are reproducing in the middle of english channel, because in that period seabass is not commercially valuable they are turned in flour to feed fish farms (?) then government blames recreational anglers cause seabass is no more.
More than likely got a good few tax free millions squirrelled away from when the previous 5 generations were taking more than their fair share!
Rodney Kaye, a quick comparison between the economies of Ireland and UK evidences the folly of Brexit.
Every complaint the Irish fisherman had, was one we voiced in Scotland from the 80s when the CFP came into being, the EU wont work for Irelands fishermen, and unless they get politicians in that care, then they wont have a chance, we had the likes of Ben BRadshaw and Finnie the fanny, who complained about having to work during quota talks, watch the documentary Gutted to see that ruclips.net/video/0DAv1dEqaK8/видео.htmlsi=6CFSc6WIVj6aqiMR
97.5% of Irish fish in Irish waters is fished by European countries. Some without a coast.
Vote Number 1 Patrick Murphy Aontú 🇮🇪
I pity these poor fishermen, yet i voted to leave the EU for the very reason that these Irish fishermen complain. it isn't right that nations rich in certain commodities be obliged to equally share those assets, why is there this shared obligation?. the Icelanders fought for their cod stocks, the Scandinavians avoided joining the EU because of open quota fishing. why don't we have a system where Irish fish in Irish waters and so on with Spaniards and danish etc. if those countries then wish to negotiate bilaterally then let them, but ultimately the nation state should decide fishing policy not the EU.
when an individual country is rich in a certain commodity (Spanish olives, french wine, German industry) we don't expect those counties to share the quota of the profits among other member states do we, why is fishing different?..
I want British fishermen to harvest British fish and likewise with the Irish and the Spaniards.
Unfortunately in Ireland we have absolutely no political will to help the fishing industry and the EU know this and take full advantage as for Spain/France/Holland they are fighting there corners and get what they want... As a fisherman for over 25years in Ireland we are being squeezed out for EU vessels,our coastal communities are dying and government don't care.
When Ireland is forced to stop undercutting other countries tax systems, business will leave.
Then Ireland will need fishing and other traditional work.
I cannot judge the situation in Ireland, but can testify the destruction caused by trawlers along the Pacific coast of Australia.
The Irish took the EU shilling .
We sure did lad, suffering big time now
This unelected Irish Government has a lot to answer for.
How is it unelected? It holds a majority in Dáil Éireann. Silly comment.
It was not elected by the people silly man, they joined together to form a Government because they had no majority.@@genghisthegreat2034
Unlucky micks 😂😂😂😂😂
There are NO COD in the Irish sea.
you chose to join the EU,face up to the the consequences, no body forced you to join them
To sad to watch
Its too lad .
Like the young lad said, "it shouldn't be happening" but it is because your parents let it. Even when the voted against they were made to vote again until the politicos got the result they wanted. You know what it is needed. Another vote to leave that is enforced by political will.
Get rid of Brussells and get your fishing grounds back. Send the French and Spanish and Dutch boats back to their own ruined waters.
Always thought this was comical. Irish fishing industry….. yeah fishing in BRITISH waters !!!!! Nothing west of Ireland, all in British waters they fish . The whole fishing industry in Uk 🇬🇧 was destroyed years ago by the autocratic EU and their comical quotas. Dumping tonnes of fish in the sea because its illegal to land. Brexit showed exactly how ridiculous the situation was . Ireland, Holland, Belgium, France, Spain, Portugal….. ALL of these countries fished in British waters , taking British fish that would then be sold outside Britain 🇬🇧!!!!!! Basically the entire Irish “ fishing industry “ was totally reliant upon fishing in UNITED KINGDOM 🇬🇧 waters ……. NOT IRISH WATERS !!!!!
They talk about it like it’s some tragedy or scandal, but then at another time they could do a short documentary about how the seas are being overfished. The perspective changes, but not the tonal quality of the narrator’s voice.
you are a complete clown its not in anyway comparable the qoutes are reduced every year and instead of every country geting a 2% reduction in what their allow catch the burden is always laid on irelands shoulders ireland is the only country getting its right to fish taken away we are not asking for much
Norway gets 25% in Irish waters while Ireland gets 17%. Not right or fair.
Hahaha!!……the French and Germans blaming brexit on the demise of Irish fishing. There’s never been a “ Brexit” ask any Englishman! 😂
they moan just like farmers do. let´s talk about the compensation they´re getting from Brussels
You know absolutely nothing with a comment like that..
the compensation deal is plenty
As I said you know nothing.. do you even know how much quota Irish lost??
Compensation is not a job for the generations. What do you moan about, the farmers and the fishermen?
people lose their jobs all the time, and they move on
