Mr. Paul Kavanagh:

It was at least two years but to put it in perspective, I have records here going back to 2002. We had to go to Brussels to prove them wrong the last time and we did prove them wrong. We got the weir officially protected and listed as a historic structure. This is total negligence by Cork County Council and Fermoy Town Council over a number of years. This is pure negligence. If I owned a protected, listed and historic building here in Dublin and behaved in the same way, I would probably be in Mountjoy jail.
