Éamon Ó Cuív

Ceist:

213. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment his plans to revoke by-law 806 relating to Inland Fisheries Ireland as it relates to salmonid waters in view of the fact that there was no appropriate assessment carried out prior to its introduction; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44007/19]

The Conservation and Prohibition on Sale of Coarse Fish Bye-law No. 806, 2006 (copy attached for information) provides for the following conservation measures:

- A bag limit of 4 coarse fish in any one day,

- Prohibits the killing of any coarse fish greater than 25 cm in length,

- Prohibits the sale of any coarse fish in Ireland (excluding NI); this provision will not apply to fishing tackle dealers and fish bait suppliers who have been granted an exemption by Inland Fisheries Ireland.

These conservation objectives remain relevant and, accordingly, I do not think it would be appropriate to revoke the Bye-Law.
