Fermoy Town Council advised me by letter dated 14 September, 2010 of progress in implementing their preferred solution to the problem of fish passage at Fermoy. The Council have indicated that they, in consultation with the Office of Public Works (OPW), are progressing detailed design of the repair works to the fish pass. They have advised me that these works will be undertaken in conjunction with the OPW's Flood Relief Works at Fermoy, which are scheduled to commence in the first quarter of 2011. I have acknowledged this letter, emphasising the need for these matters to be progressed as quickly as possible.
