Fishermen in Dingle say they will prevent a Spanish trawler from landing fish at the Co Kerry port tonight. The fishermen say they are mounting the blockade amid fears of potential Covid-19 transmission on the pier.
The fishermen are currently blocking the entrance to the pier. Gardaí have cautioned the fishermen but they are refusing to end their blockade.
It is understood a Spanish-registered vessel is due to land its catch in Dingle later tonight. A Spanish-registered truck is waiting outside the town.
The latest blockade follows similar protests in Dingle and Castletownbere three weeks ago. Minister Creed subsequently announced a number of measures to address the concerns raised by fishermen.
