#IFI - Pat Rabbitte, Minister for Communications Energy and Natural Resources, visited the new headquarters of Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) at Lake Drive in Citywest yesterday (4 July).
Speaking on the day, IFI chief executive Ciaran Byrne said: “We are delighted to welcome Minister Rabbitte to our new Citywest campus and bring him on a tour of our new office, to meet with staff across all functional areas here including research, business development and operations, as well as support divisions of finance, HR and logistics.
"There will be 80 members of staff based in our new headquarters, located strategically on the west side of Dublin to facilitate easy access to IFI’s other regional offices in Cork, Tipperary, Limerick, Galway, Mayo and Donegal.”
Previously the minister commented on the major factors involved in IFI's relocation to its new West Dublin campus, which "ticks all the boxes as regards accessibility, response capability on a country-wide basis, support structures and capacity for widely spread and often remote activities in resource protection, conservation and development.”
IFI is the State agency with responsibility for the protection, conservation, management and promotion of Ireland’s inland fisheries and sea angling resources.
