Re: Planning Application – P. Hughes
Planning Ref: 25/95
Dear Sir/Madam,
We refer to the above mentioned application for permission to retain existing cattle shed and silo pit, erect a
cattle house with slatted tank, machinery shed, etc., and associated works at Lappan/Lisconduff, Tyholland.
Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) is a statutory agency responsible for inland fisheries in Ireland. Under section 7(1) of
the Inland Fisheries Act 2010 (No. 10 of 2010) the principal function of IFI is the protection, management and
conservation of the inland fisheries resource.
The site is located in close proximity to the Cor River. This river is valuable from a fisheries perspective as it contains
salmonid spawning and nursery habitat and supports stocks of brown trout among other species.
The WFD Ecological status of the waterbody at this location, Clontibret_030, is Moderate and is At Risk of not
achieving Good status.
IFI recommends the following in relation to this application:
• The number of animals housed shall not exceed that in the application.
• All effluent, soiled water and solid wastes shall be stored on site in adequately sized and sited watertight
structures.
• Buildings shall comply with Department of Agriculture standards and regulations.
• All effluent and wash water to be disposed of by landspreading shall be carried out in accordance with the
Department of Agriculture’s booklet Good Farming Practice.
• Mitigation measures should be put in place to ensure no poor quality discharges from the site to the nearby
watercourses during the construction period.
Please notify us of your full decision in due course.
Yours faithfully,
Michaela Kirrane,
Senior Fisheries Environmental Officer, IFI Dublin
