Clear the slipway into the Barrow river in Monasterevin

Clear the clay from the rescue boat launch slip way into the Barrow river in the town of Monasterevin.

Why is this important?

So if anyone gets into trouble in the fast current river the rescue services can have easy access to the river and a fast launch of the boat if needed

Update....
Hi Aaron, Someone contacted me about the slipway and a petition.
Updated information to share:
I spoke to NPWS this morning; albeit that there is an ongoing investigation; NPWS are concerned about the soil on the slipway and it sliding into the river. They are planning on removing the soil from the slipway but they need to complete a biodiversity survey first before they can undertake the works. I don’t have a timeframe for the works yet.
All other issues are subject to the investigation and potential actions.
Kind Regards,
Kevin Duffy
