1187 Deputy Jack Wall asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources the guidelines an angling club must address or have in place to ensure that they can appoint water bailiffs to protect stock in their areas; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [21069/07]
View answerThe appointment of water keepers is provided for by section 294 of the Fisheries (Consolidation) Act 1959, as amended. The appointment by an appropriate angling club of such a person, certified as suitable by the relevant regional fisheries board, must be confirmed by a District Justice within whose district the water keeper is appointed to act.
