• Donegal fishing vessel Master sent forward for trial over herring landings Sea fisheries offence (landing herring caught in a restricted sea area) · Co. Donegal

  Patrick McLoone, a man from Donegal, has been charged with landing herring caught in a restricted sea area, as Master of the Irish sea fishing vessel Conquest. The sources do not give the incident date. The book of evidence was served at Glenties District Court in late January 2026, where he was not prepared to plead guilty. Judge Emile Daly returned him for trial to Donegal Circuit Court, with bail granted on the same terms, and he was earlier charged with a similar offence on six dates in January 2024. The latest development is that he was sent forward to the next sitting of Donegal Circuit Court, commencing in June 2026.
