On Seascapes tonight Senator Sean Kyne speaks about the ongoing crisis in Inland Fisheries Ireland, where the Minister for Environment this week removed the last remaining board members, on a no fault basis. The move by Minister Eamon Ryan, came following the resignation of five other board members in the last year. IFI now has no board and its functions are being undertaken by two former local authority chief executives.

The organisation has also been the subject of numerous allegations and an internal inquiry is underway.

We also hear about two events in Limerick next week.

First is the annual Seafarers Conference, bringing together all groups interested in offshore wind, being held in the Castletroy Hotel from 9 to 5 on Friday.
