My Department and Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) have been advised that the works to remove the weir require an application under the Planning Acts. 

IFI staff have worked closely with consultant engineers to tender for six individual surveys of the site to secure topographical, architectural, archaeological, geomorphological, hydrological, and appropriate assessment reports. These are required to compile the necessary information that will be used during the design and planning processes.

Officials from IFI are liaising with Cork County Council to prepare the relevant planning application along with the required reports and drawings.
