Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 January 2021
1168. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the details of the Brexit fishing deal; the amount of quota that has been forfeited by each of the remaining EU members as part of the deal in absolute terms and as a proportion of their total EU fishing quota; the impact this will have on the Irish fishing industry; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThis week, my Department has published a Preliminary Analysis of Transfers of Quota Shares under the EU/UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement from Ireland/EU to the UK on the gov.ie website which details the level of quota transfers for Ireland across the different stocks.
This includes the estimated quota transfer relative to total quota for other Member States. The Deputy will see from this document that reductions in the Annexes to the Agreement are graduated over the 5.5 year period of reciprocal access, but the largest part of the reduction for Ireland, 60%, is between 2020 and 2021.
