Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI), the state agency with statutory responsibility for the protection, management, conservation, development and promotion of Ireland’s inland fisheries and sea angling resources, has a significant track record of delivering initiatives to promote angling and the value of the aquatic environment to younger people and encourage access to angling across to all strands of society. I anticipate that IFI’s new Corporate Plan 2021-2025, which is currently being finalised, will place strong emphasis on safeguarding our fisheries resources for future generations and promoting angling for young people.
