Planning Ref: 2660123
Dear Sir/Madam,
We refer to your correspondence regarding the above-mentioned application for permission for development
at Carrowhatta, Scotstown.
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 the upper reaches of the Monaghan Blackwater River catchment. This river is contains
valuable fisheries habitats and supports stocks of brown trout among other species
The Ecological status of this waterbody, Blackwater(Monaghan)_010, is Good.
It is important that the proposed development will not have a negative impact on the aquatic habitat and the
Ecological status of the waterbody.
IFI recommends that suitable mitigation measures should be put in place to prevent the discharge of deleterious
matter from the site both during and following construction.
Please keep us informed of progress with this application.
Yours faithfully,
Michaela Kirrane
Senior Fisheries Environmental Officer, IFI Dublin
