Question:

156. Deputy Seán Kyne asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources further to Parliamentary Question No. 559 of 11 November 2014, if Inland Fisheries Ireland has a protocol in place to get written consent from a landowner before entering lands to carry out works; if land registry maps are consulted in order to establish proof of ownership; and his views that it is acceptable that lands be entered onto without the establishment of ownership and without written consent.

Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources

I refer the Deputy to the replies to Parliamentary Questions 559 of 11 November 2014 and 246 of 6 November 2014 which set out the legislative position in relation to this matter.

If the Deputy has a particular case or circumstance in mind, I would be happy to arrange a detailed briefing with the appropriate senior personnel in Inland Fisheries Ireland to discuss his concerns.
