Case centres on whether man had two or three fish

Stephen Bradshaw, aged 49, of Seaview, Sneem, was before Cahersiveen District Court yesterday on foot of being summonsed by Inland Fisheries Ireland. He is accused of taking and killing “more than two bass” on October 21, 2014, at The Beach, Derrynane Beag, Derrynane, in the South Western River Basin District.
