How 1890 34 74 24 will work
From December 1st, the phone line will be manned on a 24Hour basis. All calls will be answered by IFI trained personnel, not an answering machine. Details of the information will be logged and the information will be passed on to the relevant person and office in IFI on a 24 hour, 7 day basis. Follow up of calls may be immediate where resources allow and the information is classified as urgent. Where calls relate to past events, follow up will begin on the next working day.
Callers will be encouraged to provide their personal contact details to allow for further follow up on their information where required.

I suppose you never had an "after hours" drink either....
Do you ring the taxman every time you receive a cash payment?
Declare to the dole office every nixer you've done...

A better way would be for the fishery authorities to conficate the boats - that would put a stop to the swine!!!
