View answerI have appointed Mr. Tom Barry and Mr. Seamus Neely under Section 18(5) of the Inland Fisheries Act 2010 to perform the functions of Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) pending the appointment of a new, full Board through the statutory appointments process, with the support of the Public Appointments Service (PAS).
This ensures that IFI is in a position to continue to perform its functions effectively.
I intend to appoint new members of IFI, in accordance with the provisions of the Inland Fisheries Act 2010, as soon as possible.
