Vessel owner challenges Navy release of data in bid to stop migrant fishermen’s trade union using it as evidence in pay dispute

Trawler owner, Richard Brannigan pictured leaving the Workplace Relations Commission in Ballsbridge. Photograph: Colin Keegan/CollinsA trawler boss is trying to stop Navy data on his vessel’s movements being used as evidence in a pay claim by three migrant fishermen — claiming it was provided to their trade union in breach of GDPR.

The union had compiled two sets of data, he told the WRC: one from commercially available data from the vessels’ automatic identification systems and the other from the Irish Naval Service’s vessel management system. The trade union rep said he had obtained such data from the Department of Defence under the Freedom of Information Act on eight other occasions and that it had come into play in two previous matters before the WRC.
