Mr. Paul Kavanagh:

I am saying that for €40,000 or €50,000, we can get professionals in from the United Kingdom to install a boom across the part of the river that is causing the trouble, which would slow down the water and give us back our water levels for the summer. The same boom will need to be used when the repair work is taking place, but the council will not even consider it. We are being pushed aside as though we are upstarts instead of the people who are on the river all the time.
