Details of prosecutions taken by Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) in each of the years 2010 to 2016 and to date in 2017 are set out in the following table:

National Total20102011201220132014201520162017 (to date)
Prosecutions Completed1151411167911285668

Prosecutions for Environmental Offences13111671212141
Successful Prosecutions1141391107010485615
IFI continue to be vigilant and pro-active in protecting Ireland's valuable inland fisheries and Sea-angling resources.  I am advised that IFI deploys significant protection and conservation resources including day and night surveillance operations, boat, kayak and foot patrols and monitoring of water quality.  IFI also has a 24 hour telephone hot-line 1890 34 74 24 to facilitate anglers and others to report any suspicious activity.
