Commenting ahead of the meeting tomorrow between the Scottish Fisherman's Federation, the Scottish Government and the European Commission to discuss effort control regulations, Liberal Democrat Orkney MSP Liam McArthur said:
"I hope that over the weekend the First Minister has had an opportunity to take his head out of the sand and turn it towards the quayside where there is mounting anger over the deal the SNP made in December.
"Fishing is a vital industry in his constituency, in my constituency and for Scotland as a whole. This meeting is an opportunity for the Scottish Government to admit they got it wrong and take action to stop the Scottish fishing industry from spiralling further into crisis."
