Programme E provides grant aid to Inland Fisheries Ireland, which is responsible for the conservation, management and regulation of Ireland’s inland fishery resource. The inland fisheries programme includes an allocation of just under €17.6 million towards the staff costs of Inland Fisheries Ireland and the Loughs Agency of the Foyle, Carlingford and Irish Lights Commission. The Loughs Agency is a North-South body and is co-funded on a 50:50 basis by my Department and Northern Ireland's Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs. Also included in the programme is €11.6 million for non-pay current and capital expenditure by the two agencies.
