Inland Fisheries Ireland: Discussion
Ms Suzanne Campion:
The East Mayo Anglers Association's project was a huge one. It was a project on river access for persons with disabilities. The association developed the riverside and access to it. We had in-stream enhancement projects also, albeit these only came forward in 2017 and 2018. The 2016 scheme involved dry works only. The projects were on infrastructure and access, for example, stands, stiles and car parks, to facilitate anglers to get their gear to particular fisheries. In 2017, we had projects on information and awareness, infrastructure enhancement and access projects. We accepted applications under all of those headings.
