RTE reports of a group representing the fishing industry which has said the Brexit Action Plan published by the Government fails to deal with a range of issues immediately facing the sector.

The plan launched yesterday follows Britain's publication of draft legislation on how it wants to manage trade within its borders after Brexit.

The Killybegs Fishermen's Organisation has said State aid for fishermen will be imperative.

Chief Executive of the organisation Seán O'Donoghue said the plan "contains little new information and simply underlines the urgent need to secure a deal with the UK on fisheries".

Mr O'Donoghue said ensuring fishermen retain access to UK waters, as well as retaining the link with trade, "remains the number one priority".
