The Angling Consultative Council of Ireland (ACCI) was renamed as the Angling Advisory Group (AAG) by agreement of the Group at its meeting in August 2024. The change was proposed and agreed principally because the new name more accurately reflects the purpose and function of Group and now clearly distinguishes it from the Angling Council of Ireland (ACI).

My Department provided information to the Department of Rural and Community Development for inclusion in its Report - 'Values and Principles for Collaboration and Partnership Working with the Community and Voluntary Sector' in July 2024 on the AAG and its pending name change as it was then. However, that Department's Report was not published, as you have noted, until October 2024.
