• Greencastle fisherman sent forward for trial over fisheries regulation charges Breach of fisheries regulations · Co. Donegal

  Hugh McClenaghan, a fisherman from Ballymacarthur, Greencastle, faces two charges over alleged breaches of fisheries regulations relating to the Northern Celt fishing boat. The alleged offences are said to have taken place on two dates in September 2020 and involve failing to transmit timely and accurate data in his fishing logbook. The case was heard at Buncrana District Court, where the Book of Evidence was served and he was returned for trial by judge and jury to Letterkenny Circuit Court on both counts. The latest reported development, published on 2 May 2026, is that he was released on continuing bail of €150 with no conditions, and the defence says he denies wrongdoing and will contest both charges in full.
