Mr. Éanna Rowe:

Two summers ago, if we can remember back that far, we had a beautiful summer and we had low water levels on the Shannon. Unfortunately, we do not have that issue at the moment this year and we certainly did not have it last year. We monitor the levels on the Shannon with our colleagues in the ESB. We issue marine notices advising our customer base and those masters of craft of either high or low water levels. We have never had low water levels on Lough Derg.
