Mr. Kris Murphy:

That meeting happened in 2017. We have been working on a planning application for a simple grid to cross the tailrace since 2017. Within that, there would have been topographical surveys, hydrological surveys, hydrological modelling, appropriate assessments, Natura impact statements, freshwater pearl mussel surveys, juvenile lamprey habitat surveys, and freshwater vegetation surveys, all of which had to be tendered for. That is left to organisations such as the Slaney River Trust to put together.
