There are calls for Dunmore East to be designated as a landing port for northern Ireland and British-based fishing vessels.

Representations were made in the Dail last night by Waterford Oireachtas members Sinn Fein’s David Cullinane, the Green Party’s Marc O’Cathasaigh and Independent TD Matt Shanahan on the issue.
