• Ardara man's conviction for untagged salmon upheld on appeal Fisheries offence (possession of untagged salmon) · Co. Donegal

  Liam Whyte, a man from Ardara in County Donegal, was convicted of two breaches of fisheries legislation over an incident on 10 July 2017, when 13 untagged salmon were found in the boot of his car. Glenties District Court first heard the case on 27 February 2019 and imposed a €1,300 fine, €750 costs and a three-month prison term suspended for two years. Whyte appealed, and Donegal Circuit Court heard the case on 14 March 2023, upheld both convictions, waived the suspended sentence and raised the fines to €2,800 with costs of €979.63. The latest development, reported on 25 April 2023, is the circuit court's ruling, which Inland Fisheries Ireland welcomed.
