Have you seen Brijella?

Old Lough Derg hands will ermember Richie and Bridie O’Donoghue’s boat Brijella, based at Kilgarvan, where the kettle was always ready to provide visitors with tea and with the latest news.

But where is the boat now?

Brijella berthed at Kilgarvan

It is understood that her name was changed but her history, since leaving the family’s ownership, is not known. If you have any information, or any photos, please leave a Comment below.

 

 

The flash lock at Killaloe

An account of a passage here.

I have been told that the gates will not open (or will not be opened) if the upstream level is higher than the lower by some unspecified amount.

I have a page about the Shannon eel fishery here.
