Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 November 2025
212. Deputy Mairéad Farrell asked the Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment the reason minutes of the Angling Consultative Council of Ireland, ACCI, and Angling Advisory Group, AAG, meetings held on 6 August and 15 October 2024, respectively, have not been disseminated in the public domain; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [63206/25]
View answerThe Angling Advisory Group (AAG) meetings in question took place on 6 August 2024 and 15 October 2024, with some members attending in person and some remotely.
Following any AAG meeting, draft minutes are prepared, circulated for review to all members of the Group and subsequently discussed and proposed for agreement and approval at subsequent AAG meetings. Until formally approved and agreed, the Department is not in a position to publish them.
Since October 2024, it had not been possible to meet the quorum requirements to facilitate a meeting of the Group on an agreed date until August of this year. My officials have advised me they expect to be in a position to publish the minutes of past meetings on the Department's website by the end of the month.
