As only the management of sporting rights reserved to the Irish Land Commission (ILC) rests with the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) at present, it is not responsible for determining appropriate fees or increases related to these rights. This power is vested in the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, as successor in title to the ILC and title holder to the associated sporting rights. |
