There have been instances where a Spanish boat has landed into an Irish port and is inspected by the SFPA and everything is above board. At its next landing in Bilbao in Spain, nobody hears anything about it or what happened. When the boat comes back to the Irish port the next time, everything is above board again. There is that problem in terms of enforcement and access to information that we do not receive here.
