Yes, just saw that also. Doesn't sound like anyone was injured.

Man arrested would suggest there potentially was either criminal intent or criminal negligence.

Is that the semi permanent one with EHU? I seem to remember a caravan beside it, trawler crew maybe?

Gees. Just back from two nights on Howth pier. It all looked very peaceful. I can picture the van in question.

From one of the photos I saw it looked like the caravan?

Lots of posts on social media already saying people should be using campsites 🙈

The harbour master is the person who is allowing foreign-national fishing crews to live in inadequate dwellings on his pier.vans motorhomes and caravans.
what he has to answer is how many are living there, are they legal, why is he allowing a motorhome without CRW road tax or insurance be used as permanent home while at the same time trying to move on other fully compliant people.
they are the questions the papers should be asking.

h the harbour master answer's to no one seemingly! unfortunately it will take for someone to be seriously injured or worse before he will be held accountable, and like everything else it is the easy law abiding joes that he will hound
