products in the market place and
to promote Irish fish caught in a
responsible manner.”
Mooney Boats Ltd has completed
the 24-meter ‘Patrick C’, the first
dedicated prawn freezer trawler to
be purpose built for Irelands fishing
fleet. “The vessel was designed in
Denmark and the hull came from
Riga but the project is guaranteed
Irish through and through”, says
Niall Connolly of Clogherhead who
owns this fine 24-meter vessel with
his father, Seamus.
The “Patrick C” will be skippered
by Clogherhead man, Val Reilly
(29) and his crew of Stephen
Reilly, Robert Dawe, Stephen
Harmon, James Byrne and Ciaran
Ivors. Niall himself will act as
relief skipper. Says Val proudly:
“This is the first boat this size to
be built in Ireland in ten years.
Hopefully, it will be the first of
many.”
“Other boats are freezing prawns
but, with them, it was an add-on.
For us, it’s an essential part of the
design”, explained Niall.
At 42, the father of three has been
fishing for 25 years and operates
two other prawn vessels out of
Clogherhead, the 23-meter “Stella
Nova” and the 22-meter “Margaret
Mary”. All three will be landing to
Clogherhead Co-op.
Said Niall: “We went to Ove
Christiansen in Denmark because
he had built the “Stella Nova” for
us and the old ‘Patrick C’. We are
very happy with his design.”
The new “Patrick C” will have a
Val has been with Niall for the
past ten years and was previously
skippering the “Margaret Mary”.
The position will now be filled by
recently-qualified skipper, Darren
O’Brien.
The Mooney boats team that competed the Patrick C build
freezing capacity of up to 500 kilos
every six hours and a hold capacity of eight tonnes along with 200
boxes of by-catch - usually monk
and cod.
Niall said: “Quota is getting
tight over these last few years.
We are maximising our value by
freezing.”

Through Clogherhead Co-op the
landings from the “Patrick C” are
destined for the appreciative markets of Italy and Spain.
Quality has always been high
on the list of Niall’s priorities.
He is a director of Clogherhead
Co-op, a member of the Irish Fish
Producers’ Organisation and a
founder member of the organisation
“Responsible Irish Fish”.
The main aims of that group are
“to assist vessel owners achieve
