549 Deputy Seán Sherlock asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources if funding will be made available to Fermoy Town Council, County Cork for repairs to the weir; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29838/10]

I have previously advised the House that the onus under the Fisheries Acts rests with Fermoy Town Council, as owners of the weir, to maintain and repair the structure. The Department is not in a position to fund the necessary repairs. This is a matter for the Town Council.
