We cannot get the fish pass and the weir fixed because of a money issue. I, therefore, ask the Minister to give the project some priority. We acknowledge the great flood relief works that have been done, but they are jeopardising the amenities and sports and recreational facilities in Fermoy and on the River Blackwater. If we lose the weir and the fish pass, it will cause untold damage.
