    The Inland Fisheries Ireland Sponsorship Scheme 2013 is now open for applications. Full details of the scheme are available on line and the closing date for receipt of applications is January 15th, 2013.

    There are some changes to the scheme for 2013 with biosecurity and catch and release conditions safeguarding Ireland’s wonderful inland fisheries and sea angling resources. Prizes may be sponsored under the scheme, but must be fishing tackle or angling related in order to support those providing a service to Irelands estimated 500,000 anglers.

    The scheme is open to federations, clubs, individuals, youth groups, commercial salmon sector etc who in the past have gained sponsorship for competitions, angling lessons, heritage projects , international, national and local events all of which promote some or all of the following: inland fisheries, recreational angling and conservation.

    Minister Fergus O Dowd, who has been extremely active in supporting many IFI sponsored events throughout Ireland this year, welcomed the scheme commenting “ Angling, and Ireland’s wonderful fisheries are there for all to enjoy. IFI , by supporting such activity is empowering individuals and organisations to boost their local economies, teach all ages and abilities to fish, have a hobby for life, and helping protect and sustain our fisheries resource into the future.”

    The scheme can be downloaded from http://www.fisheriesireland.ie/Angling- ... ramme.html and is subject to budget.
