Committee on Public Petitions
Fermoy Weir: Discussion
Mr. Paul Kavanagh:
We are getting the runaround from Cork County Council and IFI. We met representatives of IFI with the Minister of State, Deputy Seán Kyne, in Fermoy last November and the repair was not even on the agenda. IFI wants the repair job done and a brand new fish pass constructed inside what it calls the triangle field. I am wondering why Cork County Council was asked to pay for a new fish pass when that is surely the job of IFI. The council should only be paying for the repair and refurbishment of the existing weir, and I am sure it would be happy to do so.
