DPP decides not to act over huge seizure of untagged salmon

THE DPP has decided not to bring charges in a case arising from one of the biggest seizures of untagged salmon, it was confirmed yesterday.

A file had been sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions following an investigation by the South Western Regional Fisheries Board into the finding of up to 600 salmon, with a potential value of about €50,000, in a Kerry commercial fish premises, last September.

Fisheries board manager Aidan Barry yesterday said they were “disappointed” at the decision and had written to the DPP asking for clarification.
