Excerpt from Picturesque Donegal

Two customs prevail to some extent - although both are gradually falling into disuse - with which it is advisable to make the newcomer acquainted. When hiring a car, ascertain that the charge made includes payment for the services of the driver, or at the journey's end he will expect whip-money, i.e., payment for his services as driver, which have not been provided for in the charge for the car. The other custom referred to affects anglers only. It is necessary to have a rod license when angling for salmon or sea-trout: this costs 205. And legally is available in any part of Ireland during the season in which it is issued, irrespective of where it may have been taken out: but in some districts piscator is required to take out a license in the locality before being permitted to fish, whether or not he previously has obtained one elsewhere. Of course, if he has not previously (that season) fished elsewhere in Ireland, this makes no difference but should he have done so, the compulsory taking out of another license really amounts to a charge of 205. For the right of fishing in that particular district in which the custom obtains. There fore, ascertain beforehand where this custom prevails and make your plans accordingly: in every case possible the information necessary is conveyed in the following pages. Neither of these customs need prevail, and steps are being taken to abolish them entirely. In the near future the charge for a car will include the driver's fee, and an angler will be permitted to exercise the privilege he is legally entitled to; should the maintenance of any waters make local financial assistance necessary, a charge will be made in the ordinarv wav The new arrangement will be welcome, and might very well be extended to other parts of Ireland.
