Angling licences attract a statutory duty and a wide range of licensing options at various duty rates is available. In relation to tourist/visiting anglers, the 21-day licence available at a duty of €50 is particularly popular.Based on the recommendations of the Board of Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI), and with reference to the Consumer Price Index, the duty for certain categories of angling licences, which were reduced in the prevailing economic circumstances in 2010, were restored to 2008 levels for the current angling season. The duty for a one-day licence was restored to the 2008 level of €36. Licensing duties in Ireland are relatively consistent with similar costs internationally. In addition, unlike other countries angling licences in Ireland are required only for salmon and sea-trout over 40 cms and angling for all other species does not require a licence or attract a duty.
