Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 May 2021
153. Deputy Claire Kerrane asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications if inland fisheries bye-laws are regularly reviewed with regard to setting conditions for non-commercial fishing; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24067/21]
View answerEach of Ireland's more than 140 genetically unique salmon stocks are assessed yearly and are managed on an individual stock basis. Consequently the relevant bye-laws are renewed on a yearly basis. In relation to other species or fisheries, bye-laws are reviewed when they expire or as required.Some bye-laws are not time bound and are reviewed as needs arise. A bye-law work programme is currently in place in the Department for 2021.
