Invasive species are a problem that has arisen in different parts of Ireland - for example, Lanesborough, and the "hot water" area beside the ESB. Remedial works were to be carried out there to solve the problems. However, there seems to be a huge delay. Is there a strategy in place for when these problems occur? Why are there delays in carrying out these works? This issue is very important for people involved in fishing in the tourism sector. Why is it held up? Is there a body which should be controlling it and moving it along rapidly?
