Amharc ar fhreagraThe Department does not oversee a measure under the current NDP directed at the development of the angling sector. I am advised that the fisheries boards are working on or have completed NDP funded projects with a value of some €1.3 m to date. Funding was sourced, in conjunction with the local authorities, through the Tourism Product Development Infrastructure Sub-Programme administered by Failte Ireland. As this programme is not within the remit of the Department I am unable to give projected spends for the remaining years of the NDP.
