Written answers

The following table sets out the number of successful applications on a River Basin District basis relating to fish stockings from 1 July 2009 to 30 June 2013.

2009 relates to the 6 month period from 1 July to 31 December 2009. Years 2010 to 2012 are based on calendar years, with 2013 based on applications for the 6 months up to 30 June 2013.

I am advised by IFI that they review all applications received with a view to ensuring that any proposed stocking is in line with best ecological practice and consistent with national and European legislation.
