Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Fish Migration and Barriers to Migration: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Jim Casey:
I cannot give the Deputy a specific timeline on that at the moment. We are trying to get a big picture of where the barriers are and to what extent they are a barrier. We need to prioritise them. Of the 815 barriers, perhaps 10% are problematic for fish passage. There may be some that are more problematic than others. We probably need to look at prioritising that. I cannot give the Deputy a specific timeline, other than to say we will move it along as quickly as possible.
