The Anglo Celt. article 15/07/09 re. illegal fishing on Lough Ramor worth a read. :)

Delighted to hear that. It's about time. Now, if they'd do the same with illegal drift netters we'd be getting somewhere

Delighted to see a court taking a proper view of the seriousness of the offences, and handing down proper levels of fines.

Hopefully, we'll be reading a lot more reports like this one from different courts around the country.
