There is still a huge demand for fish and our fishing industry has been all but destroyed by nothing other than the EU.
Correct.
The EU could have spent money more wisely in Ireland, in my opinion instead of building a few new roads[ and in one case destroying a natural heritage site] they should have spent money repairing the water mains infrastructure, an infra structure that leaks badly and is a hangover from the Victorian British Empire,.
Water is one of Irelands assets, something that possibly could contribute to future energy demands, without water there is no life.
