The proposed allocation of an additional €1.398 million is made up of €665,000 for pay and pensions to bridge the gap between actual pay costs in Inland Fisheries Ireland and the amount Exchequer has allocated, €355,000 to pay for increases to staff and pensioners under the public service stability agreement 2018 to 2020, €85,000 for additional staff for the Loughs Agency and €393,000 in dormant account funding for two Inland Fisheries Ireland projects. We opened a disability facility in Mayo. Members might have seen it on television last weekend. This is proof of what is happening with Inland Fisheries Ireland and how it is providing accessibility for everybody. It was great to see this project being carried out.
