Many thanks for taking the time to pass this information to the Central Fisheries Board. Wexford is part of the Eastern Regional Fisheries Board area and I have passed your information on to the District Inspector Mr. Martin Kelly this morning who will deal with the information that you have supplied. Again, many thanks for taking the time to submit this report it is great to get accurate and timely information.

The legislation is different in the north, so as long as the fish are of a legal size and the folks who caugtht them abided by other regulations concerning quotas, methods etc., then unfortunately they're within their rights.
