Public Accounts Committee

Financial Statements 2023: Inland Fisheries Ireland
Special Report No. 118 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Governance, internal control and value for money issues in Inland Fisheries Ireland

2:00 am

Mr. Barry Fox:

What it is currently being undertaken is that the Minister has directed for an independent review of that fish kill. The joint research committee that is assigned to Europe is doing an independent review of the process. It is going to provide recommendations. We are also in the middle of developing a national protocol with the other agencies that would be involved in these types of investigations and we will have that finalised once we receive the recommendations from the review. That will be published at the end of January and a new protocol will be in place nationally roughly around the same time.
