In Episode 3 of my feature series Bold Moves, all about people who launched a business in the Pandemic, I spoke to Caitlín Uí hAodha, who runs Iasc Seafood Bar and Restaurant in Dungarvan.

Caitlín is from a rich fishing tradition, and she operates her own boat. She’s very conscientious about sourcing her produce and believes more should be done to protect the fishing industry in Ireland.
