The management of property owned by Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) is an operational matter in which neither I nor my Department have any role or function. IFI have established a dedicated e-mail address: oireachtas@fisheriesireland.ie where direct detailed queries may be made by members of the Oireachtas.However, as the Deputy will be aware, annual reports and accounts are signed off by the Board every year before the normal submission to the Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG). The latest report and accounts were submitted to C&AG on 31 March last. Submissions include the then Chair’s annual Statement of Internal Control, on behalf of the Board. The Statement of Internal Control confirms assurance that the assets of IFI are being appropriately managed. My Department has fully accepted these assurances.
