Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) has launched a new national recruitment drive to hire temporary staff in Co Mayo.
Starting salaries of €32,299, per annum pro rata, are on offer, and Seasonal Fisheries Officers can also earn up to €3,910 extra via an unsocial hours allowance.
Seasonal Fisheries Officers are to be deployed across 16 counties from April to October 2026, with recruitment getting underway immediately.
Mary Walsh, Director of IFI’s western region (Ballina), commented: "As a key State environmental agency, enforcement of the law regarding illegal fishing, pollution, and habitat destruction, is a core focus for Inland Fisheries Ireland.
"We require additional temporary contract staff to support our busy annual programme of work on Ireland’s rivers, lakes and coastlines.
"We’re seeking applicants from diverse backgrounds for a six-month period. People who enjoy nature and working outdoors, in all types of weather, are likely to find these jobs very appealing and rewarding."
Those interested in IFI’s seasonal vacancies can see more information and application details here.
