I thank the Senator. To bring the Minister back to the local perspective, again, I ask him about some rivers in my neck of the woods, namely, the River Feale and the River Mulkear. Perhaps the Minister might have some figures that he can share with us. Most members are in favour of having a further session devoted specifically to barriers to fish migration. There are serious issues in this regard with the Annacotty Weir on the River Mulkear, just outside Limerick city, and the Ardnacrusha power station on the River Shannon. That last location might be straying into the Minister's other remit on energy. We are going to take a close look at that matter, but does the Minister, or the representatives from the IFI, have anything to tell us about what it is planned to do in the areas where those projects are to remove what most people would agree are significant barriers to fish migration?
