The Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Pat Rabbitte T.D. is pleased to announce that a settlement has been reached in advance of the hearing of this court case.
The terms are that the parties will bear their own costs and Lismore Realty Ltd. and Lismore Trust Ltd. will pay all reasonable costs of the removal of the Clondulane weir, which will take place during summer 2012. Inland Fisheries Ireland will act as agents of the Minister and manage the removal of the structure so as to minimise the impact on flora, fauna and habitat in the river, which is in a Special Area of Conservation.
