Thousands of people lined the streets of the Spanish city of Valladolid to pay tribute to Irish war hero Red Hugh O'Donnell. The Gaelic chieftain died in Spain in 1602 and last night Valladolid came to a standstill as Red Hugh's funeral was re-enacted

The value of the Irish seafood sector is €1.24bn in terms of GDP (2024) an increase of 4% on 2023. Today’s meeting with EU Fisheries Commissioner @CostasKadis was important, to hear firsthand from Seafood Ireland Alliance.

I met @IFPOIreland in Brussels with @SeanKellyMEP to discuss the EU-UK fisheries agreement, the EU & Iceland agreement & the ongoing review of the Common Fisheries Policy. Productive discussions focused on ensuring a fair and sustainable future for Ireland’s fishing communities.

We enjoyed the filming last year with cameraman Séamus Hayes. Our son Macdara features in the series. It gives a close up view of fishermen and families and the challenges they face, also highlights the love of seafaring

Today we had a discussion about Norway over-fishing by 40% above what's agreed. This had led to a reduction of 22% in mackerel quota for Irish fishers. The EU must implement the proposed regulation, which can stop this.

[Barry Cowen MEP @CowenBarry]

👩🏼‍🌾🇪🇺 It was great to be one of the MEPs to address EU Agriculture Commissioner Hansen at his first AGRI Committee appearance this evening, where the Future of Agriculture was up for discussion.

I urged the Commission to better support farmers who blend sustainability with innovation and called for a robust carbon & nature credit market, ensuring eco-friendly farming delivers real economic value for farmers.

[Irish Fish Producers Organisation (IFPO) @IFPOIreland]

We welcome this appointment and look forward to working together with @timmydooley on the implementation of the Programme for Government.

[Barry Cowen MEP @CowenBarry]

🐟🇪🇺At this evening's fisheries committee meeting, I spoke about the urgent need for the European Commission to take measures against Norwegian overfishing in Irish waters.

We can't let them continue with the Trump approach - in this case 'Fish, Baby, Fish' - any longer.
