Gormley faces protest over plan to ‘vandalise’ weir
Protesters say it is ironic that John Gormley will launch a document entitled The Heritage of North Cork, while his junior minister, Eamonn Ryan, is intent on semi-demolishing a piece of history in the locality.
The 12th-century weir in Fermoy is at the centre of a major row as plans to lower it and introduce new fish runs are being vehemently opposed by a number of people.
