Conor Lenihan (Dublin South West, Fianna Fail)

I fully appreciate that the need to remedy the problems of a barrier to fish migration at Fermoy has been contentious, but I hope the decision I have made will enable rapid progress to be achieved. I urge the council to expedite the repairs and engage actively with the fisheries board to monitor their impact.

I again thank the Deputy for raising this matter. I also thank the people I met in Fermoy who made submissions to me on this matter.
