It is C5. I am getting the hang of this. I have a comment to make initially. Obviously, the purpose of Inland Fisheries Ireland is to conserve and protect the resource. I am looking at the public policy impact and the outcomes. The Department is measuring the number of rivers assessed and the number of salmon licence sales. Would it consider looking at the number of salmon returning? Surely the ultimate outcome we are all looking for is an increase in that.

This is a very small thing and I imagine it is within that sector, but does the funding of LAWPRO or of rivers trusts come under this?
