Impact study in bid to save weir at risk of collapse in Fermoy

Councillors believe that if the weir is not replaced then valuable tourism revenue, especially from coarse and game fishing, will be lost to the Fermoy area and it could also have an impact on water sports.
Assistant county manager, James Fogarty, said the council cannot afford to fund repairs on its own and unfortunately to date appeals to government agencies for financial support “had fallen on deaf ears”.
