The Deputy will be aware that I appointed six members to the board of Inland Fisheries Ireland on its establishment. On 21 October I received the nominations of the Joint Oireachtas Committee for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, in accordance with the Inland Fisheries Act 2010 (No 10 of 2010), for a further three places on the board. I have yet to make a decision concerning these nominations. I am confident the members appointed to the board will have the necessary expertise and competencies to lead Inland Fisheries Ireland to fully deliver on its potential.
