Government lambasted for treatment of Killybegs fishing community

The government has been lambasted for their their treatment of fishermen and fishing communities in Donegal.  Independent TD Thomas Pringle says he has great concerns about the future of the fishing industry, particularly in areas such as Killybegs.  Deputy Pringle has criticised the government’s handling of the industry, saying that fishing communities have been “shafted”.  He says Killybegs has taken a severe hit as a result.  In response, Minister for Agriculture Food and Marine, Charlie McConalogue acknowledged his fellow Donegal deputy’s concerns and claimed Killybegs is the town most impacted by Brexit.
