Those aged 66 and over are not, under the Act, required to purchase a licence to fish for trout and coarse fish. The Act provides for life members of the former Inland Fisheries Trust to be permitted to fish for trout or coarse fish on waters owned or controlled by the central or regional fisheries boards without payment of a permit charge. Life members of the former Inland Fisheries Trust are required under the Fisheries (Amendment) (No. 2) Act, 1987, to purchase licences for salmon, trout or coarse fish angling.
