    are u aware that that The Southern Regional Fisheries Board propose installing a Crump Weir at Ballinderry /Deerpark just above the tidal waters 3 to 4 miles above Carrick to enable them instal a Fish Counter. this structure will block the entire breath of the river a pprox 4o meters. They have said they will look at modifications. Rights go b ack to at least 1500ad. Act 1537. and 1836. This could not be justified. All your help is needed. Dave Kelly

    Your site reference the listing of non WI working boats on irelands inland waterways is interesting but incomplete. Probably the first purpose built workboat of the modern era (past 40 years) is based at Carrybridge since approx 1973/1974. This same vessel is still in commercial use today serving in its role as an ultra successful recovery craft. In spite of it,s light weight this boat has been seldom defeated even by the most stubbornly grounded heavy craft. The RNLI has from their inception, attempted to usurp the role of this vessel, but despite the fact that they have unlimited resources, they have proved unable to match the success of this old and venerable Hayling Fisherman and its single outboard motor.

    Robert: I know my listing is incomplete. I add to it all the time, both when I spot vessels myself and when people tell me about others I was unaware of. I’m particularly deficient in vessels from the Erne and Neagh/Bann; if it weren’t for Tina, the Erne list would be even more inadequate. Still, I’m delighted to hear about the Hayling: I hope to have our barge on the Erne next year and you never know when a tow might be needed! If you were willing to let me have a photo of the boat, I’d be delighted to add it to the page (crediting it to you, of course). bjg
