Summary
Enright sought an Adjournment discussion because salmon were being prevented from reaching spawning grounds at Parteen on the Shannon; he warned of consequences for salmon fishing, and the Ceann Comhairle said he would communicate with him.
I wish to raise on the Adjournment this evening the position in regard to the situation down at Parteen, County Clare, where the salmon are unable to get up along the Shannon to spawn. They are being prevented from doing so; and if salmon are unable to spawn this year it will have a serious effect on salmon fishing.
