Baltimore RNLI assisted a fishing vessel in difficulty south of Kedge Island off the coast of Baltimore, West Cork this afternoon.

The Workplace Relations Commission’s inspection regime for the country’s fishing vessels has been described as “ineffective” after it emerged that it has only recovered just over €6,000 in owed wages.

Ahoy!

An investigation has been launched after a crew on board a fishing vessel was arrested in the Irish sea last night.
