Excellent TG4 programme tonight which shames the #Govt for its neglect of and disregard for the Irish #fishing industry and coastal communities.

No mention of fishing industry or coastal communities by Tanaiste in his FF Ard Fheis address. So neither of two Govt leaders of an island nation show specific interest in Irish fishing industry. That is disappointing and regrettable

It is being claimed, from disclosed figures, that the #Govt has failed to utilise the full £1.1bn. given to it for #Brexit compensation damage to support the #fishing industry and may be returning much of the money to the EU. How is this possible?

Will Tanaiste Micheal Martin mention #fisheries and #coastal communities in his ArdFheis speech this evening?
The Taoiseach has ignored their commitment to this island nation.
