My Department, in consultation with Inland Fisheries Ireland, is in the course of reviewing the existing provisions of the Fisheries Acts dating back to 1959 with a view to producing one consolidated and modernised piece of legislation for the inland fisheries sector, including the licensing regime. Once the review is completed, Inland Fisheries Ireland will be in a position to make recommendations to me on future licensing regimes for all types of fishing including that referred to in the Deputy's question, in the context of any proposed legislation.
