Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment

Inland Fisheries Ireland: Discussion

Ms Suzanne Campion:

Yes. It is not just anglers who do these projects; it might be community groups. There are many Tidy Towns committees involved. We want to help anybody who has an interest in the fishery and wants to develop it.

The project office only came into being last March and we went from one project to 60% of projects being finished at the end of 2018. The stakeholders, whether they were anglers or others, had an expectation that all the works would be done within a year. That is never the case.
