Due to ongoing issues with the restoration of power following Storm Eowyn , the application deadline for the IFI Sponsorship Programme has been extended to February 7th. Any clubs who wish to apply for support to hold competitions, coaching events or other fisheries related initiatives should compete their applications in advance of this date.
Since 2012, Inland Fisheries Ireland has invited angling clubs and tourism organisations to apply for sponsorship support to ensure the smooth running of a variety of angling related events and initiatives.
The key drivers behind the IFI Sponsorship Programme have traditionally been to 1) increase participation in angling by recruitment of juvenile and novice anglers and 2) to maximise the potential of Ireland’s wild fisheries as world class venues for sustainable medium and large-scale angling competitions, thereby boosting the benefit of sustainable tourism in rural regions and extending the tourism season.
