I totally accept the sector needs to be regulated but I would like to see that done in a way where key stakeholders are on board with changes. Clearly, we have a situation where that is not the case at the moment.

On the Shannon, and the very significant resource it is where it has multiple uses ranging from leisure, biodiversity, and water resources, does Mr. Rowe believe there needs to be an overall strategy, vision and a strategic review of how the Shannon is used and that, perhaps, changes need to fall out from that rather than come before it?
