The first part of the study, which dealt with salmon
anglers from outside the Republic, has already been completed and the results
published [i]. The terms of reference of the study together with some background
information were given in the latter publication. This second part is
concerned with Irish salmon anglers and particularly with assessing the extent
and regional distribution of the economic effects of their activities. In both
these papers, we attempt to find out what Sort of peoplethe ang!ers are; where
and how Often they fish, and, particularly, how much they spend and where this
expenditure takes place. The concluding part of the study will deal with commercial
fishermen and fishery operators, and in that paper we also hope to
amalgamate our information on angling and on commercial fishing into a
comprehensive picture of Irish salmon fishing
