Anglo-Irish tensions rise as British navy boards Irish vessel to stop it from fishing off Rockall

AN IRISH boat was boarded by the British navy on Monday after it was found fishing in the waters around Rockall.

The Northern Celt was told by the navy that it wasn't allowed to fish within 12 nautical miles of the North Atlantic islet due to Brexit.

The Department of Foreign Affairs has confirmed that it is aware of the incident and has been in contacts with the UK as well as local Scottish authorities.

A UK fisheries patrol vessel, the Jura, reportedly arrived in the area on January 1, just a day after the UK's Brexit transition period ended.
 

Crew members from the Jura boarded the Northern Celt as it prepared to cast nets near Rockall.

"We were fishing in Rockall and members of the crew from the Jura boarded us," fisherman Adrian McClenaghan told RTÉ News.

"They informed us that we could no longer fish inside the 12-mile limit of Rockall."

Mr McClenaghan has since been handed a temporary license to fish in UK waters, but claims that he cannot afford not to fish there, as it accounts for 30% of his annual catch.

Rockall is a tiny uninhabited island, no more than 25 metres wide, around 400km from the coast of Co. Donegal, and around 370km from the coast of Scotland.
