Deputy Alan Dillon asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications where within the Inland Fisheries Act 2010 it stipulates the procedures for appointing a deputy or interim CEO; the date on which he was consulted regarding the appointment of a deputy CEO; the reason the current CEO requires a deputy; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12094/24]
View answerSection 24(3) of the Inland Fisheries Act 2010 (2010 Act) provides for the appointment of a deputy chief executive by IFI.
The appointment of a deputy CEO is entirely a matter for the Board of IFI and there is no statutory requirement for the IFI Board to consult with the Minister in relation to such staff appointments.
The IFI Board have appointed a deputy CEO from time to time in accordance with Section 24(3) of the 2010 Act e.g. to cover leave periods.
