Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 2 February 2023
206. Deputy Mairéad Farrell asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications if his Department will fully support, financially or otherwise, Inland Fisheries Ireland in its efforts to eradicate invasive pike from Aughrusbeg Lough, Cleggan, County Galway (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5481/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe issue raised by the Deputy is an operational matter for Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) in which neither I nor my Department have any function.
The funding allocation provided to Inland Fisheries Ireland by my Department is not generally disaggregated for individual operational activities and the allocation of resources for specific purposes is a matter for IFI.
IFI has established a specific email address for queries from Oireachtas members so that queries can be addressed promptly, in line with IFI’s objective to deliver services to the highest standards. The email address is oireachtas@fisheriesireland.ie.
