Reynolds had a long career working for The Irish Times and founded the Irish Skipper and Ireland Afloat magazines
Reynolds used his platform to oppose Ireland’s decision to join the European Union in 1973, believing that the accession terms disadvantaged Irish fisheries. He visited 56 countries for marine research over a quarter of a century before selling on his magazine. Known today simply as The Skipper, it is the leading commercial fishing publication in Ireland and the UK.
Arthur Noel Reynolds was born in Leeson Street, Dublin, on Christmas Day, 1929, the only son of an Irish mother and an English father – an electrical engineer who introduced several innovations to Ireland, including X-ray. At St Patrick’s, his lifelong involvement in leftwing politics began under the influence of his teacher, Dr John de Courcy Ireland, the radical politician and marine biographer who later in life would instil in Arthur a passion for the sea.
