"Mr President, there is a multiple award-winning documentary by Richard O’Donnell called
that has been described as a wake-up call, as chilling as a bucket of ice-cold sea water over the head. Filmed through the eyes of small fishing communities in three countries, Ireland, Norway and Canada, it addresses exactly this issue, deep-sea stocks and fishing in international waters.
Every Member of this House should make it their business to learn of the situation with regard to Irish fishing waters from which much of that stock has been taken. Would the French government gift 75% of its wine production to the EU? Would the Netherlands gift 75% of its agricultural production? I doubt it. In 1973, when Ireland joined the EU, that is exactly what the Irish Government did. It gifted 75% of our stocks to the EU. And here is the rub. Ireland has never been credited for this value, estimated by Dr Karen Devine to be worth in excess of 200 billion from 1973 to 2012. As one of the fishermen said in the film, there is something wrong here. He could have said more. There is something really wrong here and it has got to change: otherwise we have got to get out of this rotten Union."@en1
