Government 'disappointed' over Scottish fishing row

The government says it's disappointed it may have to go through a dispute resolution process after a row with Scotland over fishing.

Last week, the Scottish Government said it might take action over new measures designed to protect the Island's scallop fishery.

The Department of Environment, food and Agriculture says it hasn't breached the terms of a fishing agreement and will continue talking to Scotland about the issue.
