PQ 22
22. Deputy Mairéad Farrell asked the Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment the reason there have been repeated stockings of invasive/non-native rainbow trout into Lough Lene SAC, County Westmeath over a protracted period of time, considering that his Department officials never issued Section 14 authorisations under the Fisheries (Consolidation) Act 1959 for the stocking of the species into the said waters; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
