Jackie Cahill (FF), Tipperary

This week, the European Parliament passed legislation on the restoration of nature. It is essential that there be fairness under the legislation. The maintenance of our rivers and streams is an issue I have raised previously. The situation is farcical at this stage. An angling club in Holycross approached me. It holds competitions on the River Suir in the area. It is an excellent fishing spot, but the undergrowth and briars along the banks of the river are preventing anglers from accessing it. There will be a great deal of toing and froing before the legislation is implemented, but it is essential that the maintenance of our rivers and streams is allowed to continue.
