QUESTION: Councillor Eoin Ó Broin

"To ask the Chief Executive for an update on Corkagh Fisheries and what measures are being undertaken to have the amenity open again?"

REPLY:

The Corkagh Park Tyréns study was presented to the full Council meeting on 9th December.

The study is available; http://intranet/Cmas/documents/County%20Council/2019/December/December2019CountyCouncilMeeting/26fe287e-2069-45b8-9cee-fd30477d935e.pdf

Stage 3 of that plan, which is currently ongoing and is planned to be completed by the end of 2020, will research and make recommendations into commercial leisure opportunities, such as a commerical fishery. Initial indications indicate limited interest in operating a commercial fishery in the park.

It should be noted that Community fisheries facilities are provided in Ballymount Park.
