151. To ask the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment the extent to which inland fish conservation measures continue, with particular reference to the restocking of lakes and rivers including freshwater; whether research continues to be undertaken to promote coarse fishing and freshwater fishing in a way which is in keeping with best practice; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The conservation measures referred to by the Deputy with specific reference to the restocking of lakes and rivers and the matter of research work undertaken to promote coarse and freshwater fishing are operational matters for Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) in which neither I nor my Department have any function.

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
