About Us
As part of the overall rationalisation of State agencies that the Minister for Finance announced in Budget 2009, a new national inland fisheries body is to be established which will replace the existing Central and seven Regional Fisheries Boards.
The restructuring will involve the creation of a single national inland fisheries authority, Inland Fisheries Ireland. It is clearly in the nature of the inland fisheries work that the new Authority should be organised with a strong regional presence. The Authority will, therefore, have strong regional executive structures which will be aligned on the basis of the following River Basin Districts:-
- Eastern River Basin District
- North Western River Basin District
- Shannon River Basin District
- South Eastern River Basin District
- South Western River Basin District
- Western River Basin District
The new Authority will continue to be responsible for the conservation, management, regulation and development of the inland fisheries resource in accordance with the existing legislation governing the inland fisheries sector.
