NI Angling Moves To E-Permits To Cut Out The Paperwork

24th January 2016

#Angling - Come April, paper-based angling permits in Northern Ireland will be replaced by electronic records, as the Belfast Telegraph reports.

All rod licences, permits and day tickets will now be available to purchase online via NI Direct or authorised local distributors, with e-records providing all the relevant data for fisheries officers.

This eliminates both the need for anglers to carry paper documentation when they go fishing –– as well as the requirement for anglers with disabilities to travel to Portadown to avail of concessionary permits.

The Belfast Telegraph has more on the story HERE.
