Emmet Stagg (Kildare North, Labour)

I am trying to establish which Minister is responsible for inland fisheries. Originally, I believed it was the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Deputy Mary Coughlan, and the Minister of State at the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Deputy John Browne. I now understand it is Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Deputy Eamon Ryan. Is that the case and, if so, why is he responsible for inland fisheries?
