Fishermen have been protesting at Cork Aiport tonight over the importation of fish from abroad through the airport.
A large force of gardaí has been on duty and there have been no incidents so far.
Earlier today, fishermen protested at Cork harbour over what they say is a total crisis in fishing because of high fuel costs and the fishing quota system.
Around 50 trawlers from various coastal villages in Waterford and Wexford were taking part. The protest was not affecting port operations.
The trawlers from Kilmore Quay and Dunmore East joined vessels from Castletownbere and Kinsale at Roches Point this morning.
Fishermen from the west coast are took part in a protest in Galway this afternoon.
16 boats converged in Galway Bay earlier.
The fishermen from the trawlers say soaring fuel costs, quota restrictions and the large-scale importation of fish from Far Eastern countries will force many of them out of business and threaten the existence of small coastal communities around the country.
A spokesperson for the Department of Fisheries says it is seeking a meeting with the EU Commissioner to discuss the fishermen's demands.
