Environment Minister Eamon Ryan has removed the three remaining board members of Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) on a no-fault basis following a series of irregularities and allegations.

Five members, including the chairperson of the board, had resigned since April 2022 and Mr Ryan said he had taken the decision to remove the remaining members due to the "inability of IFI to carry out its functions effectively".
