• Donegal fishing company and master sent to trial over sea fisheries offences Sea fisheries offences · Co. Donegal

  A Donegal-based fishing company, MCD Trawling Ltd, and Darragh Gillen, a man from Drumaweir, Greencastle, have been sent to face trial over alleged breaches of sea fisheries regulations. The company faces three charges, including interfering with an official inspection, failing to have a transport document, and failing to weigh the landing, while Gillen, as master of the Saint Catherine Laboure, is charged with failing to send a return-to-port message. At Letterkenny District Court in May 2026, the DPP consented to the case being sent forward to Letterkenny Circuit Court for trial, and the option of a signed plea was declined. Judge Emile Daly ordered the accused returned for trial and gave the alibi warning.
