The Arra River is part of the River Deel Catchment Drainage Scheme which was carried out by the Office of Public Works (OPW) under the Arterial Drainage Act 1945. The OPW continues to have statutory responsibility for the maintenance of this scheme.
The weir mentioned in the question was not constructed as part of the Drainage Scheme, and the OPW is therefore not responsible for its maintenance.
