Mr. Mark Griffin:

No. As I understand it, the way things are structured, Inland Fisheries Ireland has a statutory obligation to undertake monitoring for the EPA, in accordance with the water framework directive. It monitors fish at specified sites and reports the results to the EPA. I do not want to presume, but by identifying the process in that way it would appear that the issuing of enforcement or prosecutions - on foot of any issues identified by the IFI or any other statutory agencies involved in the water framework directive - would appear to a fall to the EPA, perhaps through the office of environmental enforcement. I will check that out for you.
