Kerry Council seeks clarification on river responsibility

CONCERN over the state of the water and banks in parts of the south-west is being passed from one statutory body to another.

Exactly who — if any single body — is in charge of rivers and the upkeep of their waters and banks is to be the subject of an enquiry from one local authority to the OPW and other Government departments.

Kerry Co Council disclosed it was inundated with complaints and enquiries as to who exactly had charge of some of the county’s key rivers.
