I understand that the individual referred to by the Deputy applied for a draft net salmon fishing licence. Applications for fishing licences were considered by Inland Fisheries Ireland, in accordance with the terms of the Control of Fishing for Salmon Order 2011 (S.I. No 123, 2011). This Order determines the priority status afforded to each application based on the applicant's fishing track record. In the event of the number of applicants being in excess of the licences available, IFI determined the allocation in accordance with Article 6 of the Order.
