West Cork fishing and weighing

Summary

Michael Collins and the Taoiseach clashed over whether fish weighing and west Cork fishing problems were being ignored, with interruptions from both sides. The Taoiseach said the issue was separate from the framework and accused Collins of being asleep at the wheel, while Collins demanded a resolution.

It is a complete abuse-----

Would the Taoiseach kindly resolve the issue? There is no point in just saying that there is a serious issue in terms of weighing fish.

Please allow the Taoiseach, without interruption.

People in Castletownbere and Unionhall are stretched to the last. The Taoiseach was asleep at the wheel during Brexit.
