The Irish Fish Producers’ Organisation (IFPO) is seeking urgent reform of sea fisheries legislation after a recent acquittal in a Donegal court.
As The Irish Times reports, Gareth Murphy, master of the Western Chieftain fishing vessel, was acquitted of charges of failing to accurately record his catch.
The Killybegs-based skipper was charged with being in contravention of several regulations on October 10th, 2021, within the exclusive fishery limits of the State.
