Foyle, Carlingford and Irish Lights Commission

The Foyle, Carlingford and Irish Lights Commission consists of two Agencies, the Loughs Agency and the Lights Agency.  The Loughs Agency has responsibility for the promotion and development of Lough Foyle and Carlingford Lough for commercial and recreational purposes in respect of marine, fishery and aquaculture matters.  It was intended that the Lights Agency, when established, would replace the Commissioners of Irish Lights as the General Lighthouse Authority for Ireland.  However, given the complexities that have arisen in terms of pursuing such a transfer of functions, the matter is under review at present.

The Foyle, Carlingford and Irish Lights Commission is chaired by Mr Tarlach O Crosain and the Vice-Chair is Ms Jacqui McConville.

The Chief Executive of the Loughs Agency is Mr. Derick Anderson.
