Abstract: Paper reviews the records of rod and line caught porbeagles, Lamna cornubica, from Irish waters and discusses the possible confusion between this species and mako shark, Isurus oxyrinchus which are similar in appearance and both belong to the family of mackerel sharks (Lamnidae). Physical descriptions of the two species are given.
