​The Marine Casualty Investigation Board (MCIB) was established in June 2002 to carry out investigations into, and report on, marine casualties in Irish waters or involving Irish registered vessels including those in the commercial fishing sector. The MCIB on its establishment also completed a number of investigations covering the period 1992-2002.

Information on fatalities can be found in its Annual Reports and in its Reports on Investigations, on its website at .

The information that follows relating to commercial fishing is based on MCIB published reports, other than in relation to 2016 incidents, which are the subject of current investigations and for which reports have not yet been published.
