This text examines the law relating to the extent of coastal waters; fishery jurisdiction; the definition and extent of the continental shelf; activities of foreign warships, particularly submerged submarines in the Irish Sea; coastal State control over migratory fish such as salmon; marine pollution; and the question of maritime boundaries around Ireland, both in respect of the continental shelf and 200-mile fishery zones.

The second edition of this highly regarded book takes account of developments since the first edition was published in 1993. It discusses: * The interesting background to the imposition of the Irish straight baselines in the 1950s * The problem of the harassment of Irish fishing vessels beyond the 12-mile limit * The intended invocation of the law of piracy * Drug interdiction at sea * Problems connected with Ireland's submission of the external limits of its claimed continental shelf because of maritime boundary disputes * New treaty commitments on maritime pollution * The role of the Irish Naval Service in the law of the sea, particularly in regard to use of force in law enforcement situations

<p>The subject matter of this study -- the fate of vernacular Irish cottages -- although essentially regional in emphasis (north Donegal) -- is, in the authors' opinion, a matter of national concern, if not scandal. Large numbers of these former 'jewels' of the Irish countryside are disappearing yearly; so that now few exist even as ruins. Sadly, in some cases misguided planning policies of local authorities and past lack of any conservation provisions has hastened their demise, particularly with the controversial advent of 'bungalow' bliss' and one-off building in the Irish countryside, which is in effect, the other side of the coin. In an ideal world, this profusely illustrated study should have been done at least twenty years ago to record what in such a short time has now been lost for ever. For it is unlikely that the time-consuming structural methods of the past -- and the mining and preparation of local materials such as flags and slates -- will ever come about again; so that, for example, a slate roof deliberately removed or collapsed from neglect is a roof most likely gone for ever.The Irish countryside is undoubtedly the worse for this process;and in time, if not already, it will in the authors' view impinge adversely on the tourist industry -- the 'Irish cottage' featuring in the famous John Hinde photographs now being very hard to find in the rural parts of Ireland. It is, therefore, the aim of this small study to tell, with photographic evidence, a tale which could be replicated in any part of the Atlantic fringe of Ireland, recording before it is finally lost what little remains of this important part of Irish tradition. Hopefully in so doing it may prick the consciences of officialdom and others to act to save this vital part of Irish heritage.</p>
