Mr. Denis Maher:

IFI does it directly, with the support of the Chief State Solicitor's Office and the Attorney General.

On the Deputy's other point, the Minister has asked for a workforce plan for IFI, particularly around protection, conservation and development, which are extremely important. We are in the middle of a biodiversity crisis. IFI has been understaffed for some time. We secured a small number of staff for this year. There is a workforce plan and critical to that is the plan by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage for the removal of barriers to fish passage, which is required by EU legislation. The Department has asked IFI to deliver that, given its expertise over many years. That is part of it.
