Fisheries body allowed employee to rent its €1.25m property, PAC hears 

Business development manager Suzanne Campion said “the tenant had to be removed from the premises, the locks changed, because they weren’t paying their rent”.

The informal tenants of an 19 th century Victorian house, owned by Inland Fisheries Ireland, were an entry level employee of the organisation and their spouse, an Oireachtas committee has heard.

The tenants were allowed to lease two cottages at Aasleagh House – a property valued at €1.25m –in Co Mayo between 2017 and 2021 as IFI had been unable to sell the remote property.
