• Killybegs fisherman pleads not guilty to mackerel misrecording charge Misrecording of fishing catch data (fisheries regulation offence) · Co. Donegal

  Jens Bach, a Killybegs fisherman and master of the Irish seafishing boat Western Endeavour, has been charged with misrecording the quantity of mackerel catch in the fishing logbook, an alleged offence on October 31, 2024. The charge is a fisheries regulation offence and no victim is named in the sources. On June 22, 2026, at Donegal District Court held at Ballyshannon Courthouse, Bach pleaded not guilty and elected for trial by judge and jury in the circuit court. The case was adjourned to September 28 so the state solicitor can prepare the Book of Evidence, which is the latest development.
