Staff from Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) have been recognised for two road safety and fleet awards. The Road Safety Authority of Ireland has recognised logistics manager Michael Burke with a “Leading Light” award for road safety in the public sector while the Freight Transport Association of Ireland has awarded IFI with a “Van Safe” award. The awards follow a review of the organisation’s fleet across the country over the past year. Many of its over 300 staff use vehicles to carry out protection, environmental and research duties, often in rural and peripheral locations. The organisation’s fleet consists of 200 vehicles including cars, car-vans, SUVs, panelled vans, 4x4 jeeps and trucks in addition to on-water vehicles.
