The management of Cong hatchery and any decisions thereto are operational matters for Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) as the independent State body for the management, protection and conservation of the inland fisheries resource.

I have no plans, at present, to visit Cong hatchery.

That said, IFI has kept both me and officials of the Department informed regarding its decision to cease operations at this facility.
