New 2016 Quota Set For Irish Fishermen
Irish fishermen will have a mackerel quota of 75,000 tonnes in 2016 following the conclusion of talks at the National Seafood Centre in Clonakilty, Co Cork.
The quotas were negotiated between the European Union, Norway and the Faroe Islands.
Welcoming the news, Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Simon Coveney, said: "I welcome the outcome of the international mackerel negotiations today, which Ireland not only hosted but was also a central participant as the second largest EU quota holder. Irish fishermen will now have a quota of 75,000 tonnes, worth over €63m directly to our catching sector, for 2016 and the new long term management strategy will provide stability to our fishermen in this vital fishery for Ireland by avoiding large variations in the quota from year to year."
