View answerThe Governance Review of Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI), which was carried out by EY, has been completed and was presented to me on 19 December 2023 and published shortly thereafter. The Review was commissioned, at my instruction, by the Section 18 appointees - Mr Tom Barry and Mr Séamus Neely - carrying out the functions of IFI pending the appointment of the new IFI Board. EY examined the governance arrangements and operations of IFI and the report includes recommendations on how to address a number of important issues. The recommendations therein have been considered by the new Board which I appointed with effect from 16 January 2024 with a view to implementation during the course of 2024.
