-----at one of our meetings with the Secretary General of the Department. The Secretary General was unaware of it.

That still has not been resolved with regard to the liability to the taxpayer and what the costs will be. I have raised this in correspondence. We need to seek information on this from the Secretary General and the chief executive officer of Inland Fisheries Ireland.

I have other correspondence with regard to a well-known facility, Aasleagh Lodge in Leenane, and its current use with regard to what was presented to the board and what transpired afterwards. I have recently received information on a construction project that is under way there. I would love to understand who has authorised the activities that are happening there. Some of the rooms are being transformed into office areas. It is a substantial project. Who on the board signed off on it? A number of questions need to be answered. We need to bring the CEO of Inland Fisheries Ireland before the Committee of Public Accounts as a matter of urgency. Certainly there are questions raised from the 2021 accounts and there are also questions relating to 2022.
