The Conservation of and Prohibition on Sale of Coarse fish Bye-Law No. 806 of 2006 and the Conservation of Pike Bye-Law No. 809 of 2006 are being examined as part of this extensive work programme on Bye-Laws that are in existence for over 10 years. As part of this review process, Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) appointed external environmental consultants in June 2024 to prepare an Appropriate Assessment in relation to these two specific bye-laws. This Assessment has been evaluated by IFI’s Environmental Assessment Panel and will be put forward for determination in due course.

Upon completion of this review, I will be in a position to consider any action in respect of the two bye-laws.
