Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Depletion of Inland Fish Stocks and Impact of Estuary Poaching: Inland Fisheries Ireland

9:45 am

Dr. Ciaran Byrne:

LIFE projects are well-funded and much work is done under them. One issue, however, is that as it is European funded, it is heavily audited so one cannot stray too far from the core remit of the project. The kind of works we would be looking at would be relatively low level developmental works such as bush cutting and raking gravel. Much of this work would not be covered under the LIFE programme. It can be used as a vehicle to get larger scale works done, however.
