Fishermen in plan to stage protest at Greystones Harbour

Protesting fishermen will bring their boats to the harbour in Greystones on Saturday afternoon to unload their catch, in deliberate breach of by laws. They are objecting to what they say is Wicklow County Council’s refusal to allow commercial fishermen to use their home port of Greystones to carry on their business.
