In relation to proposals for a bye-law addressing the issue of angling by trolling on Glen Lake, Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) initiated a public consultation process to ensure that all angling clubs and other stakeholders had an opportunity to express their views on the proposals.  The public consultation process closed at 5pm on 22 July 2016 and written submissions were received from stakeholders including the angling club referred to by the Deputy.  IFI has already responded to enquiries locally on the matter and confirm that local IFI management would be happy to engage with representatives of the club referred to if a meeting is requested.  Proposals as regards a bye-law have not yet been submitted to my Department.
