Unseaworthy boat was adrift off Skelligs, court told
Cahersiveen District Court was told there were eight passengers on board the Pace Arrow III, on May 21, 2014, when it was seen by other Skellig boatmen to be in difficulty and drifting “north of the Skelligs”.
Six days earlier, on May 15, a Department of Transport inspector had arrived down to Ballinskelligs Pier to look at the vessel, which had applied for a renewal of its passenger licence to operate to the Skellig Islands.
