Written answers

Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) has funded its Education and Outreach Programme via Dormant Accounts Funding.

IFI advised my Department of a decision of its Board not to apply for Dormant Accounts Funding for 2022 in order to focus on the core functions of protection, management and conservation the  inland fisheries resource.                       

The administration and management of the programme and Board decisions on same are operational matters for IFI.  I and my Department have no function in the matter.

IFI has established a specific email address for queries from Oireachtas members so that queries can be addressed promptly, in line with IFI's objective to deliver services to the highest standards. The email address is oireachtas@fisheriesireland.ie.
