Details of the number of salmon angling licences issued by the Regional Fisheries Boards can be found in the annual report of the Central Fisheries Board.
The annual reports for the years 2006 and 2007 were recently submitted to me for approval and I expect to lay the reports before both Houses of the Oireachtas shortly. The reports will thereafter be published by the Central Fisheries Board and will be also be available to download from the Board's website (http://www.cfb.ie/annual_report/index.htm). Details of angling licences issued during 2008 will be made available in the Board's annual report for 2008. The question of whether licences are issued directly or via agents is a day to day matter for the Boards.
I have no function regarding the applicability of the Data Protection Acts 1998-2003 to salmon angling licence data collected or stored by the Regional Fisheries Boards.
