Tributes to Fishing Industry Leader Hugo Boyle
23rd January 2021
Tributes have been paid to fishing industry leader Hugo Boyle, who died unexpectedly earlier this week.
Mr Boyle, a father of four from Falcarragh, Co Donegal, was chief executive of the Irish South and East Fish Producers’ Organisation (IS&EFPO).
“A gentleman who was highly respected right around the coast” is how south-east vessel owner Caitlín Uí Aodha of the IS&EFPO described him.
Fellow industry leaders said his loss would be felt both in Ireland and Europe.
Mr Boyle, a former fisherman and vessel owner who was based in Achill Sound, Co Mayo, had been ill for several years.
