Mairéad Farrell

Question:

304. Deputy Mairéad Farrell asked the Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment when will the review of the Conservation of Pike Bye-Law (No. 809) 2006 be completed considering that the conservation aims of the legislation are completely at odds with current pike culling operations on Lough Corrib SAC in County Galway; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I refer the Deputy to my previous reply to Parliamentary Question No. 432 of 14 April 2026 in relation to the status of the review of the Conservation of Pike Bye-Law (No. 809) 2006. There has been no change to the position set out in that reply.

In the meantime, Inland Fisheries Ireland is implementing stock management measures on Lough Corrib in line with the relevant fisheries management and conservation policies applicable to the lake.
