A trawler has been escorted to shore in Galway, following the arrest of it's skipper for alleged fishing offences.
The Irish-registered Spanish-owned 'El Orzan' was detained one hundred miles off the Galway coast last night by the navy ship, L.E. Aoife.
The captain of the trawler has now been turned over to Gardai.
It is expected that the captain will appear at a special sitting in Galway later today.Officials from the Department of the Marine will this afternoon examine the catch of the Irish-registered Spanish-owned trawler.
The Department of Marine is to investigate allegations of fishing offences of the trawler which is now stationed in Galway.
I think this is the third arrest this week,the first arrests of 2003.
