279. Deputy Pat the Cope Gallagher asked the Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment the reason the minutes of meetings of groups (details supplied) held since September 2023, have not been made publicly available on his Department’s website; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5177/26]

The Angling Consultative Council of Ireland (ACCI) was established in November 2020 to provide a formal channel for national angling organisations to contribute to the development of inland fisheries policy. In October 2024, the ACCI was renamed as the Angling Advisory Group (AAG), to better reflect the Group’s advisory role on inland fishery policy matters.

Minutes from meetings of the Group are published on the Department's website once they have been approved at a subsequent meeting of the Group.

Minutes have been published for all meetings held up to and including October 2024 at www.gov.ie/en/department-of-climate-energy-and-the-environment/publications/angling-consultative-council-of-ireland/.

The minutes from meetings held in August 2025 and January 2026 have not yet been approved by the Group.
