General Operative
Inland Fisheries Ireland has two vacancies for General Operatives, which is an excellent opportunity for highly motivated individuals. The ShRBD historically has a large angling structure portfolio, given the nature of the mixed stock fisheries and the requirements for coarse angler access. Much of the infrastructure was constructed during the last TAM programme (1970’s and 1980’s). A lot of the infrastructure went into disrepair and requires ongoing resources to maintain and upgrade. For the last two years, the recruitment of the General Operatives has hugely enhanced our ability to tackle these infrastructure repairs. The fact that this team is solely dedicated to angling development has proved efficient in terms of the specific skills, efficiency working around ground conditions and weather and intricately knowing the locations, types of structures and specific requirement for different areas. To date, most of our dangerous structures have been decommissioned, repaired or replaced, largely through the recruitment of this resource. In a lot of cases, the structures were removed first and depending on demand and stakeholder needs, are systematically being replaced. A further priority list of structures was identified post the 2022 ORIS programme, for the upper and lower Shannon. There are a number of repairs which will need to be completed, to both reduce IFI’s liability and to meet the demands from stakeholders. We have had several positive communications on the new plastic structures constructed throughout the catchment and we had representations to complete/retain other structures. The funding has already being granted and this provides a perfect opportunity, funded externally, to address the existing liabilities we have and to develop new and improved angling infrastructure ABOUT US Inland Fisheries Ireland are the environmental agency responsible for protecting, managing and conserving Ireland's inland fisheries and sea angling resources. More information can be found by visiting our website . VISION, MISSION & VALUES Vision To place the inland fisheries resource in the best sustainable position possible for the benefit of future generations.
