100.

View answer101. Deputy Mairéad Farrell asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications in light of the recent appointment in Inland Fisheries Ireland of a deputy CEO, what procedures were followed as per the Public Service Management Act 2004; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 100 and 101 together.
Section 24(3) of the Inland Fisheries Act 2010 (2010 Act) provides for the appointment of a deputy chief executive by Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI).
The appointment of a deputy CEO is entirely a matter for the Board of IFI who, I understand, 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.
