SPEECH: Minister of State at the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources (Mr F O’Dowd) I am pleased to be able to provide clarification on the issue of Bye Law 888 which was introduced with effect from 1st January 2022. Bye Law 888 2021 will shortly be revoked and replaced by Bye Law 897 2022. This change will have the effect of removing a number of provisions which had unintended consequences in the implementation of Bye Law 888. Following concerns raised with Inland Fisheries Ireland on some elements of the Bye-law, the CEO and senior management within IFI met with a delegation from the Angling Council of Ireland which included representatives from all of the major angling disciplines and federations. Angling Bye-law 888 2021 prohibited persons using or attempting to use worms, prawn or shrimp as bait or any fish hooks, other than single barbless hooks, in angling for any kind of fish in the waters of rivers named within the Bye Law. The angling delegation also raised the matter of the adequacy of consultation carried out in relation to the array of Statutory Instruments / Bye-Laws implemented from the 1st January 2021. The position is that all of IFI’s 2022 fisheries management proposals were published on my Department’s website during the normal statutory 30 day consultation period. While this was part of the proposed salmon management regulations, it is recognised that those proposals had the potential to ultimately effect coarse and pike anglers. These anglers would not necessarily have had reason previously to examine the consultation documents for salmon management and hence they did not appreciate the significance of the proposed Bye-Law. Following discussion with the Angling delegation, it has been agreed that for future years, in addition to publication on my Department’s website, the advisory/consultation documentation will be sent directly to the main angler representative bodies in advance of sign off. The angling representatives can then disseminate to their members and other interested parties. There was also some concern at the banning of prawn and shrimp as an angling bait on Catch and Release salmon fisheries. Given that the use of prawn and shrimp as bait can be compatible with catch and release angling in the right conditions, it is proposed to remove this element of the Bye-Law and only restrict the use of worms as bait which is not compatible with catch and release angling. A number of other issues arose in relation to the interface between the river and sea and where the worm fishing ban starts and stops and whether it is the use of terrestrial worms (Lumbricus) or marine worms (Arenicola, Nereis) or both which is banned by the Bye Law. This is a very valid issue. On any of the salmon fisheries which are either closed or opened on a “catch and release only” basis and which have a tidal /estuarine element to them, there are clearly demarcated lines as to where freshwater fishing is considered to stop and marine fishing is considered to start. The spirit of this Bye-Law is to stop persons purporting to fish for other fish species when in fact they are fishing for salmon. In this regard the clearly acknowledged bait for salmon fishing is terrestrial worms so an angler fishing with marine worms (lug worm (Arenicola) /rag worm (Nereis)) will have no difficulty. A clear communication to the angling communities concerned on how this element of the Bye-Law is going to be implemented will help to resolve this issue and the similar issue of the use of single barbless hooks. However it is not proposed to make any adjustments so as to mark in law each of the transition areas between freshwater and marine angling as this would be overly cumbersome and would set an unnecessary precedent. In addition a number of specific regional issues that were raised with IFI, as a result the River Fergus System and the Kilcolgan River will now be excluded from the bye-law. The marketing and promotion material for the Eastern River Basin District (ERBD) was also discussed. It was suggested that promotional material does not refer to the ban on the use a single barbless hook and a ban on using worms as bait. This issue actually relates to Bye-Law 824 of 2007 which is now five years in existence, rather than Bye-Law 888. However in general when providing such information in promotional material it can easily mean that the brochure can quickly and unintentionally be taken as a guide to angling legislation rather than the intended function of encouraging people to fish. Bye-Law 824 of 2007 was enacted after the production of some of these publications and that is why it was not referred to in the material. However, in the ERBD brochure update in 2007/2008 there is reference to the prohibition on the use of worms on any hooks other than single barbless hooks. Unfortunately it is not always possible to reprint on an annual basis so brochures have been designed in so far as possible to maximise their shelf life. This can on occasion lead to brochures becoming out of date, but IFI place up-to-date information on its website and its staff do seek to clarify and be of assistance to anyone who gets in touch.. IFI intend to ensure that reference to the relevant Bye-Law is included in all updated versions of promotional brochures and where space is at a premium clearly indicate that people should consult the IFI website for full up to date information. In conclusion Bye-law 888 is to be replaced by a Bye-law which will incorporate the following changes.

Generous lady anglers 21st December, 2021 Inland Fisheries Ireland has for a number of years been running very successful ‘Ladies casting days’. These events are aimed at introducing ladies to fly fishing. The days have been organised and supported by Mark Corps (IFI Angling Advisor) plus other IFI staff and run by the only Irish ladies casting coach Glenda Powell. When initially setting up the ‘Ladies casting days’ it was decided not to charge participants. However all taking part in the day would be asked to make a donation, however small to the Irish Cancer Society. The ladies have proven to be very generous and this year was no exception. So following two ‘Ladies days’ run this year. One held at Rathcon Fishery (as part of Fisheries Awareness Week) and the second at Annamoe a grand sum of €1045 had been donated. This money was recently handed over to Nuala Collins from the Irish Cancer Society by Justine Cavanagh (an IFI staff member who has herself taken part on one of the ‘Ladies days’) |

Inland Fisheries Ireland 2022 Sponsorship Programme 16th December 2021 Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) is pleased to announce the launch of its 2022 Sponsorship Programme. Applications are invited, by January 27th, 2022 from organisers and event promoters that will support the aims of the IFI sponsorship programme. The IFI Sponsorship Programme aims to increase awareness of IFI, its work, recreational angling, the sustainable commercial use of the inland fisheries resource, and habitat issues. IFI may support events on the basis of the location and nature of the event; the potential of the event to introduce new users to angling in an active capacity, i.e. not just as spectators; to educate and inform stakeholders of angling, environmental, commercial salmon fisheries and habitat issues. In launching the programme, Minister Pat Rabbitte, TD, Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources stated that 'the sustainable use of our wonderful inland fisheries and sea angling resources must be promoted. People of all ages can enjoy angling in urban and rural settings, off charter boats and beaches and on quiet river sides. In addition, traditional commercial fisheries add value to small local communities, while biodiversity awareness ensures a sustainable resource for all'. Acknowledging that budgets are reducing he stated that 'I would like to commend Inland Fisheries Ireland for supporting their stakeholders' efforts to conserve, protect, promote and develop the inland fisheries and sea angling resource'. Applications and details of the sponsorship programme can be downloaded from www.fisheriesireland.ie, from Bridie Fleming, Inland Fisheries Ireland, Swords Business Campus, Balheary Road, Swords, Co.

Poachers & Polluters Beware � Inland Fisheries Ireland Launch 24 Hour Phone Service : Dr Ciaran Byrne, CEO, Inland Fisheries Ireland and Suzanne Campion, Head of Business Development, Inland Fisheries Ireland. Inland Fisheries Irelands national 24 Hour Confidential Phone Line begins operation tomorrow, December 1st, 2010.. The all important number is 1890 34 74 24 or for easier recall 1890 FISH 24. This phone line is designed to encourage the reporting of incidences of illegal fishing, water pollution and invasive species. Inland Fisheries Ireland staff will investigate the reports and process as appropriate. From December 1st, the public can call IFI any time they witness illegal fishing or discover a water pollution event. Receiving timely information is critical to apprehending those responsible for damaging fish stocks or fish habitat. The public�s help is also being sought to prevent the spread of invasive species, which can cause millions of euros of damage to the aquatic environment. Dr Ciaran Byrne, CEO of Inland Fisheries Ireland, launched the phone line saying � this initiative is vital to our intelligence led protection programme . Our aim is to stamp out the antisocial practice of illegal fishing and to protect the fish and fisheries habitat. With the public�s help, Inland Fisheries Ireland can improve on its successful record of apprehension and prosecution of those involved in illegal fishing and destruction of our inland fisheries resource. I urge all those with an interest in preserving this wonderful natural resource to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity to 1890 34 74 24� The phone line will be run on a pilot basis for 6 months, after which time its operations will be assessed and reviewed. Background to the Phone Line On July 1st, 2010 Inland Fisheries Ireland was established. It has a national remit for the protection and conservation of inland fisheries and sea angling. It replaces the Central and 7 Regional Fisheries Boards. Heretofore, information was received at individual regional offices and by personnel in confidence. These numbers are still in use and may continued to be used for non-urgent reports. The new 24 Hour phone line will provide the public with one point of contact and will allow IFI to coordinate and direct a more efficient, intelligence led protection function. How 1890 34 74 24 will work From December 1st, the phone line will be manned on a 24Hour basis. All calls will be answered by IFI trained personnel, not an answering machine. Details of the information will be logged and the information will be passed on to the relevant person and office in IFI on a 24 hour, 7 day basis. Follow up of calls may be immediate where resources allow and the information is classified as urgent.. Where calls relate to past events, follow up will begin on the next working day. Callers will be encouraged to provide their personal contact details to allow for further follow up on their information where required. Inland Fisheries Ireland is a statutory body operating under the aegis of the Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources and was established under the Fisheries Act on 1st July 2010. Its principal function is the protection and conservation of the inland fisheries resource. IFI will promote, support, facilitate and advise the Minister on, the conservation, protection, management, development and improvement of inland fisheries, including sea angling and develop and advise the Minister on policy and national strategies relating to inland fisheries and sea angling. |

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE GOVERNMENT ON BEHALF OF IRISH SPORT Click Here To Download We are writing on behalf of everyone who is involved in sport in Ireland; the participants at all levels, the coaches, the administrators, the volunteers and the countless people for whom sport provides much welcome relief from the difficult times we are living through. We believe it is fair to say that sport has never been more important. Sport has a real capacity to lift everyone in the country whether they participate in any aspect of sport or merely follow Irish sport on television or through the wider media. And we are talking about the positive effects of sport at every level not just the elite participants, important as they are to us all. What other aspect of life in Ireland gets 270,000 people to volunteer their time on a weekly basis to ensure that 1.7 million people participate in sport in 12,000 clubs, in every parish in Ireland. It is possibly because of this input from volunteers that there is a popular misconception in some areas that SPORT JUST HAPPENS. Nothing could be further from the truth. Sport as we know it in Ireland today, is the result of good planning, enlightened administration and financial investment particularly by the Government on behalf of all tax payers. That funding is the lifeblood of sport in Ireland and the catalyst for all that follows. On a purely practical level, for every euro invested by Government the sports themselves invest a further two euros. Research published recently found that for every �100 invested by Government (both National and Local) the return to the Exchequer is �149. It is the funding that drives the programmes at grassroots and schools level; the programmes that eventually lead to the elite performers that represent us all on the world stage. We cannot overstress just how important the current funding is to the future well-being of sport in Ireland. While we fully understand the difficulties faced by the country and the pressures to make savings, it would be difficult over-emphasize just how important the impact of the �49.6 million given to sport through the Irish Sports Council is. It is the seed capital for activity and an industry worth in excess of �1.8 billion to Ireland each year. It is essential that Government funding is maintained if we are to continue to develop sport at every level. It must be remembered only a small proportion goes to our elite performers. Over 80% of the money provided by the Government is invested in sport at grassroots level in creating the programmes that will produce top class athletes and just as importantly help improve the health and wellbeing of our citizens. Such funding has never been more important. Right across the country clubs at all levels are finding that other sources of funding are drying up. They are finding it increasingly difficult to attract sponsorship, while the subscriptions normally paid by club members are becoming increasingly challenging to collect. As you will be aware programmes like the Sports Capital Grants and the Local Swimming Pool Programme have been suspended and that is totally understandable in the current climate. While we would love to see them reinstated at some time in the future it would be disastrous for Irish sport if this was in any way at the expense of current funding. As you will see from this document Irish sport is once again united in making this submission to you. Our single and united focus is that there should be no further cuts to the budget allocated to Irish sport through the Irish Sports Council for current expenditures. |

IRISH SHORE ANGLING TEAM WINS 2010 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP IN SOUTH AFRICA The Irish Shore Angling team , representing the Irish Federation of Sea Anglers, made history for Irish sport this week by winning the World Championship in South Africa last week. The World Championship, in it�s 27th year, was contested by 16 nations and fished on the beaches of Langebann in the Western Province of South Africa. The event was held in shallow , clear water bays where water temperature reaches 24 degrees, several degrees warmer than the open coastline. This extra heat attracts fish of all species, especially small shark and rays. Ireland�s previous best finish was a silver position though they have had two individual world champions, Timmy O Sullivan from Kerry and Michael Kearney from Dublin. The competition was fished over 5 days and the Irish team led from day 2, overcoming the pressure of leading from the front to beat seasoned performers Italy and Spain who finished second and third respectively. Team angling competitions are intense affairs, demanding total concentration, attention to detail and fishing to a plan. The Irish team travelled to the venue several weeks beforehand to practice and devise a winning strategy. The team consists of five anglers, one sub and a manager. Selection process is by means of a series of qualification competitions run across the provinces by the Irish Federation of Sea Anglers. This process, introduced a couple of years ago, is designed to produce the best on-form anglers and now we have the results to prove it. The result must also be put into perspective considering that the Irish team is mostly self funded by the IFSA and the individual team members. Many of the continental teams are professional sponsored anglers with the backing of substantial funds to travel and fish the venues beforehand. The IFSA are the National Governing Body for sea-angling in Ireland and recognised as such by the Angling Council of Ireland and the Irish Sports Council. It is a 32 county federation and this years team had representatives from Cork, Kerry, Waterford, Wexford and Dublin. Team members were JP Molloy (team captain), John O Brien, Timmy O Sullivan, Mark Beatty and Derek Kenrick. Team manager was Tom Lillis who is also Chairman of the Irish Federation of Sea Anglers and the official sub was Brendan Wall. As well as the fabulous team gold, Irish anglers John O Brien and Timmy O Sullivan finished second and fourth respectively in the overall individual table. As mentioned above, Timmy is a former individual world champion. This result has sealed a fabulous year for Irish sea angling.. In the 2010 Home Nations competitions, the Irish Boat team and the Irish Shore Under 16�s and Under 21�s teams took gold medals in Belmullet and Scotland respectively. Congratulations to all involved for a superb result for the team, the federation and the country. |
