Each of Ireland's more than 140 genetically unique salmon stocks are assessed yearly and are managed on an individual stock basis. Consequently the relevant bye-laws are renewed on a yearly basis. In relation to other species or fisheries, bye-laws are reviewed when they expire or as required.Some bye-laws are not time bound and are reviewed as needs arise. A bye-law work programme is currently in place in the Department for 2021.
