I propose to take Questions Nos. 123 and 124 together.

I have been advised by Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) that the Central Fisheries Board and subsequently IFI have been licensing the State-owned fishing rights on a stretch of the River Ilen which adjoins folio CK41565, in West Cork, to a local club - River Ilen Anglers’ Association - for over thirty years.

IFI has established a specific email address for queries from Oireachtas members so that queries regarding operational matters such as this can be addressed promptly, in line with IFI’s objective to deliver services to the highest standards. The email address is oireachtas@fisheriesireland.ie
