57 Ms Cooper-Flynn asked the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources if a person (details supplied) in County Mayo can carry out repair work to the bank of a river (details supplied). [30118/00]
I have referred this matter to the Western Regional Fisheries Board which has statutory responsibility for the protection, conservation, management and development of fisheries in its fisheries region.
The board informs me that the river referred to by the Deputy has frequent spate floods the severity of which are exacerbated by overgrazing on the surrounding hills.
