RAI was established by the major national angling organisations in Ireland with the following ideals.

• Ireland will remain as one of the best places in the world to fish. Waters will be clean and stocks will be plentiful. There will be respect for scarce environmental resources, which will be protected and developed in a sustainable way for future generations.
• There will be a wide range of opportunities for both angling and visitors to fish in harmony and enjoyment.
• The lead organisations promoting and developing recreational angling will be well organised and viable, providing excellent services to their members at all levels through sound management, operations, budgets and appropriate policies.
