Mr. Fintan Gorman:

I will refer the specific question on vehicles to the chief executive officer because that is a management matter. As chairman of the board, it would be inappropriate for me to get involved in management. Management is paid to manage. From my experience, it is doing the job well but it is up to it to answer specific questions of that nature on vehicles.

The strategy on pike will be reviewed in two or three years’ time. The agreement is that after checking the scientific advice and consulting widely with anglers and other affected groups, there will continue to be a pike cull in the wild brown trout lakes, of which there are 12, located mainly in the west. Until that policy is reviewed, it will continue.

As I said in my opening statement, we need specific and definite legislation on invasive species. Until such time as legislation outlining which group is responsible is produced, there will be recurrences of the situation relating to Asian clam as outlined by the Deputy.
