Is the glass half full or half empty? That is the question facing those who debate, and will sup from, the future of the Irish fishing industry. Pieter Tesch reports. According to Irish Fisheries' Minister "Pat the Cope" Gallagher, the glass is full to the brim.

No one familiar with the state of the Irish fishing industry since the country joined the then EEC in the 1970s can deny the great strides the sector has made since. Progress was even more pronounced in the 1990s. With government support, the Irish fishing industry has become the envy of its neighbours, especially Scotland and the southwest of England.
