• Donegal fisherman elects circuit court trial over catch logbook charge Mis-recording of fishing catch in logbook (sea fisheries offence) · Co. Donegal

  A man, Garry McGing of Fintra Roads, Killybegs, Donegal, is charged with a sea fisheries offence concerning a fishing logbook entry dated 23 March 2023, when he was master of the sea-fishing vessel Olgarry. The Director of Public Prosecutions directed summary disposal, which would have allowed a District Court hearing on a guilty plea, but McGing rejected it and elected trial by judge and jury in the circuit court. At a hearing reported on 28 May 2026, the matter was in to establish which court would hear it, and the State solicitor asked for an adjournment for further DPP directions and preparation of the book of evidence, which is the latest development.
