Inland Fisheries Irelands national 24 Hour Confidential Phone Line began operation  December 1st, 2010.. The all important number is 1890 34 74 24 or for easier recall 1890 FISH 24. This phone line is designed to encourage the reporting of incidences of illegal fishing, water pollution and invasive species.

From December 1st, the public can call IFI any time they witness illegal fishing or discover a water pollution event.
