The allocation of rod exploitation rates on the salmon rivers of Ireland is an operational matter for Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) in which neither I nor my department have any role.

Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) has established a specific email address for queries from Oireachtas members so that queries can be addressed promptly, in line with IFI’s objective to deliver services to the highest standards. The email address is oireachtas@fisheriesireland.ie.

IFI local management would be best placed to meet with the person referred to.
