183. To ask the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment if he will provide an update on the progress in the conservation of salmon stocks in the rivers in the south east; how the funds raised through the salmon licence payment are used; the amount collected in each of the past five years; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Operations for conservation of salmon stocks in the rivers of the South-Eastern Region and disbursement of funds raised via committing 50% of the duty on both angling and commercial salmon fishing licenses for conservation and restoration projects, are operational matters for Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) in which neither I nor my Department have any function.
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.
