Committee on Public Petitions

Fermoy Weir: Discussion

Mr. Tommy Lawton:

I believe it has the authority. Its responsibility is to the fish and the responsibility should lie with them to push Cork County Council on. We have had meetings with IFI and we got bye-laws in at the bridge the past couple of years. IFI has been helpful in that regard but we do not know what is happening when we are trying to get anything done. That is where it lies. We do now know what the plans are and the estimates are through the roof.
