It's already been banned from Australian waters - now Sinn Féin's spokesperson on fisheries says the FV Margiris and so called "super trawlers' like her should not be allowed to fish off the Irish coast.
The giant fishing vessel - which is less than 40 nautical miles off the Cork coast this afternoon - has been called the 'Death Star of the Ocean" and can land up to 250 tonnes of fish a day, 14 times what a regular Irish trawler might take, while often leaving tonnes of unwanted 'by-catch', non-profitable marine life, dead in its wake.
