#Angling - Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) is inviting expressions of interest from suitably qualified individuals to become or continue to be members of Fishery District Committees in the following Fishery Districts where commercial fisheries exist:
- Waterford; Lismore; Cork; Kerry; Limerick;
- Galway; Ballinakill; Bangor; Ballina; Sligo;
- Ballyshannon and Letterkenny.
The individuals should be representative of one of the following groups/sectors:
- Commercial salmon fishermen (draft net or snap net where appropriate)
- Rated occupiers of fisheries
- Salmon rod representatives
Any suitably qualifying individual wishing to be considered for representation on these committees should write to Inland Fisheries Ireland at the address below stating the Fishery District in which they wish to be considered for inclusion on the committee and the group/sector to which they belong.
The primary purpose of the Fishery District Committees is to recommend the allocation of the available salmon surplus as identified by the National Standing Scientific Committee between the commercial and recreational sectors for those fisheries which have a surplus. Typically there will be one meeting per year (April). Expenses will not be paid.
