I do not want to bring it in across the country, I want to get rid of it. The River Shannon belongs to the ESB but there is no fee whereas IFI is managing the River Suck and there is a fee on the Linbaun river and Black's Lake. It is beyond me. I cannot understand how Dr. Byrne and his board can stand over that. I want to see it eliminated as quickly as possible. I am very hopeful that the Minister of State, Deputy Canney, who is from our area, will do something other Ministers have refused to do on foot of the representations which have been made from our area.
