807. To ask the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources to outline the legislative framework regarding the ESB regulation of the River Shannon; his plans to amend that framework; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22375/16]

ESB’s statutory responsibilities in relation to the regulation of the River Shannon are set out in the Shannon Electricity Act 1925, the Electricity Supply Act 1927 and the Electricity (Supply) (Amendment) Act 1934. That legislation establishes the Shannon Scheme which consists of a power station and associated dam and headrace at Ardnacrusha, along the Parteen Weir and associated embankments.

I currently have no plans to amend that legislation.
