The Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture has launched a financial aid scheme to financially support fishermen due to the increase in their operational costs as a consequence of the rise in prices of fishing bait and nylon material caused by the Russian invasion on Ukraine. This scheme may be funded from the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF). Applications were sent by post.

Eligible fishermen are encouraged to apply between the 6th November 2023 and 10th November 2023.
