Reader's Blog: Agency swimming in the wrong direction

I take exception to the headline ‘Fishy facts in Fermoy weir story’ (Letters, October 22), penned by Dr Ciaran Byrne, chief executive of Inland Fisheries Ireland.

If there was anything fishy going on, it was the mincing of words by Dr Byrne, when he stated: “Inland Fisheries did not exist between 2006 and 2009”. This was obviously an attempt to discredit Donal O’Keeffe’s excellent article, “Town weary of inaction as amenity crumbles” (Irish Examiner, October 15).
