Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 May 2022
111. Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications if investigations are being carried out in relation to the management of an organisation (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26310/22]
View answerMy Department has been informed by Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) that an investigation is being carried out in relation to a number of matters which were the subject of anonymous disclosures earlier this year and that a member of staff has been suspended pending the outcome of this investigation. It is important to note that this investigation is entirely within the remit of IFI and neither I nor my Department have any role. I have initiated a separate review under section 18 of the Inland Fisheries Act 2010 (which section is entitled ‘Removal of Members from Office’, ‘Members’ being members of the Board). This review relates to issues raised in correspondence between my Department and IFI during the period 1 February and 27 April 2022.
