The National Inland Fisheries Forum was established by Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) in accordance with section 7(4)(a) of the Inland Fisheries Act 2010, (No 10, 2010).

The Forum which consists of 60 members, who were appointed in accordance with the terms of reference agreed with IFI as provided for in section 7(4)(b) of the statute, following an open selection process conducted entirely by the Public Appointments Service on behalf of IFI.

The Public Appointments Service in the open selection process managed all of the public communications and my Department had no function in the process. I am advised that details of the membership of the forum are published on Inland Fisheries Ireland's website www.fisheriesireland.ie.
