As I pointed out to the Deputy in my reply to Question No. 431 of 18 October 2005, under the Fisheries Acts responsibility for enforcement of inland fisheries legislation rests primarily with the central and regional fisheries boards. The matters raised by the Deputy in his previous question are therefore an operational matter for the Southern Regional Fisheries Board to address. I am advised by the chief executive officer of that board that the information sought by the Deputy is being compiled as a matter of priority and will be forwarded to the Deputy by the end of this week.
