Dr. Cathal Gallagher:
There is a bit of an urgency. The measure spoken about will benefit salmon but the measure we are working on is really driven by the water framework directive. It comes back to the Cathaoirleach's earlier question about water quality. The second highest pressure is hydromorphological and barriers are part of this. The programme we have will run until 2027. Over this period, 257 of the barriers will be mitigated. I believe this is what was stated.
