Michael FoleyRathminesDublin 6Media hard on fishing industryYet another unfounded media attack on the Irish fishing industry. And, coincidentally, this same story pops up in one of the national news outlets every time the Department of Marine is being criticised by the fishing industry. Is this an attempt to silence the growing voice of anger of the people at how Ireland’s fishing industry is being mismanaged while other EU nations benefit? Is it an attempt to convince the public that the fishing industry is crooked? It’s about time that Ireland’s mainstream media were made accountable for what they report and, at the very least, gave fishing industry representatives the right to reply.
