Atlantic.

A documentary charting the politics of resource management in the North Atlantic – from the perspectives of three different fishing communities in Norway, Newfoundland and Ireland.

By Risteard Ó Domhnaill, of The Pipe, and narrated by Brendan Gleeson.

Eoin Kelly writes:

This documentary is getting released in cinemas across the country from this weekend and is well worth a watch. Its an eye-opener and shows how the Government has sold off our resources. It will make you angry to watch and its really important that it gets to as many viewers as possible.

A Dublin man is among six rowers who have been rescued from a life raft in the North Atlantic after their boat capsized.
26-year-old Aodhán Kelly (top) and five others from the UK, were taking part in the Atlantic Odyssey challenge to row from Morocco in north Africa to Barbados in the Caribbean aboard the Sara G.
They were 27 days into their journey when the 36ft vessel overturned at 11am yesterday, 520 miles from their destination.
Coastguards in Falmouth, Cornwall, said the rowers were picked up from the raft, which they had lashed to the hull of their overturned boat, at 1.10am by the Nord Taipei, a Panamanian-flagged cargo ship.
