It is actually illegal to take them whilst scuba diving as noted here http://spearfishing.ie/irish-regulations/ but fine by breath hold.

Its kinda confusing having two websites... but the one I am linking is the official body and the one posted by the OP is just a kinda blog run by 2 individuals.

Sorry.... I meant to link to http://spearfishingireland.ie/ not the above link...

that makes sense as there are 2 websites and that makes it kinda confusing,

Thanks for pointing that out Derek :)
