The Republic of Ireland is a fishing nation with waters rich in all kinds of sea life. But with Brexit, Ireland has lost fishing quotas in British waters, and with the Irish government, in agreement with Brussels, approving an €80 million plan to scrap around sixty fishing boats - almost one third of the Irish fleet - in exchange for subsidies, the future looks bleak. In the port of Castletownbere, 16 boats will be scrapped, a tragedy for the fishing town.
