'No timeline' for works to restore historic Cork weir, OPW says

Restoration of weir in Ballincollig park 'subject to an assessment of planning, structural, fisheries and cultural heritage considerations', Office of Public Works said

Weir in regional park in Ballincollig had been in disrepair for many years before a breach occurred in December 2014, which left the weir in extremely poor condition.

The Office of Public Works (OPW) has admitted it has no timeline for potential repairs to an historic River Lee weir which collapsed in 2014.

It comes 18 months after OPW Minister Patrick O’Donovan visited the structure in the regional park in Ballincollig, Cork, to inspect the damage and committed to explore potential solutions to reinstate it. The works could cost up to €1m.
