Celtic League highlights submarine issues
The Celtic League says it hopes to find out what safety procedures are in place to protect boats in the Irish Sea from Royal Navy submarines.
This week, the Marine Accident Investigation Branch published an interim report into an incident involving a trawler and a sub off the Calf of Mann last year.
Bernard Moffatt from the League says incidents of submerged vessels catching fishing nets had declined since the end of the Cold War.
But he’s now written to the UK’s Armed Forces Minister asking whether it still has protocols in place to reduce risks:
Tynwald approves changes to sitting schedule, including half-term breaks and revised start dates
Plea to Manx parents to check meningitis vaccination status
Bus dispute ‘a considerable way apart’ as talks continue, says infrastructure minister
Noble's bed capacity exceeding industry-recognised 'safe levels'
