Committee on Public Petitions
Fermoy Weir: Discussion
Pat Buckley (Cork East, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
I was coming to that. We will make a decision and I will be putting proposals to the committee shortly, or I can do so now while our guests are here because we are in public session. The petition concerns the Fermoy weir on the River Blackwater in County Cork. Members have contributed and the proposal is to request observations from the relevant stakeholders on the evidence provided at today's meeting, to invite the relevant stakeholders to a public session of the committee to consider this matter further, including officials from Cork County Council, the Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment, Inland Fisheries Ireland, the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government, the Office of Public Works, Lagan Construction Group, the National Parks and Wildlife Service, which is part of the heritage division of the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht. We also want to forward a copy of the response from Cork County Council to the petitioner and inform the petitioned that the petition will remain open.
I will call for a vote on that, if members will agree.
