Re: Planning Application — D. Collins
Planning Ref: 2560504
Dear Sir/Madam,
We refer to your correspondence regarding the above mentioned application for development at Magheross,
Carrickmacross.
Inland Fisheries Ireland (IF) 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 the River Proules catchment, a sub-catchment of the River Glyde. The River Proules contains
valuable fisheries habitat and supports stocks of brown trout, lamprey species and European eel among other
species.
The WFD Ecological status of the waterbody at this location, Proules_020, is Poor and At Risk of not achieving
Good status.
IFl recommends that mitigation measures should be implemented on site to prevent the discharge of deleterious
matter from the site during the construction period to protect the nearby aquatic habitat.
Yours faithfully,
Usoncela AWOL
