329. Deputy Willie Penrose asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources if he is aware of a proposal by Inland Fisheries Ireland to close fish hatchery farms at Cullionmore, in Mullingar, County Westmeath and in Roscrea, County Tipperary, which are the only two brown trout hatcheries left in Ireland; if he will consult the said board with a view to getting this proposal scrapped as there is no cost saving but the proposal will cause significant adverse circumstances and difficulties for lakes which are reliant on farm-reared brown trout and negatively impact upon the angling industry; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
