The IFSA in conjunction with the ACI and Sport Ireland are pleased to announce that as of the 7th of June we have been granted Status to return to Angling Events on the basis that we adhere to the COVID 19 Guidelines, Procedures and Documents (Copies contained with This Release). Each Club will be required to complete the relevant documents and procedures. They will need to appoint a Covid Compliance Officer and a Covid Designated Officer – Both required to have completed the ACI Online Induction Course.
Each Club must complete and return the relevant documents, forward the names of their Nominated Child Protection and Covid Officers to their Provincial Secretary and the National Secretary prior to commencing any competitions or events.
The roles of the Covid Compliance and Designated officers have been covered in the ACI Online Induction Course. It is essential that the Covid Compliance Officer ensures that the guidelines are adhered to, that the Covid Documentation be completed and legible. It should then be forwarded to their Club, Provincial and National Secretaries in a timely manner.
Please note that the documents are Subject to Review – The most recent versions of the documents will be available for download from the IFSA Web Page and secretaries should insure they are using the latest drafts.
We hope you have an enjoyable and successful return to Competitive Angling.
Stay Safe and Tight Lines
