Clamhán a dhéanamh a scríste roimh theacht na séideán mór. A buzzard rests in An Machaire. Calm before storm.

The old Commogue pool in the Lower River Shannon Special Area of Conservation (SAC), near Castleconnell, Co. Limerick, earlier today. This was one of the famous salmon angling pools on the river before the hydroelectric scheme. It was formerly part of the Prospect Fishery. Today, less than 6% of the water entering the SAC boundary at Killaloe was reaching this part of the river. The water was being abstracted at Parteen Regulating Weir, located approximately 6 km upstream, and diverted to Ardnacrusha Hydroelectric Station. Over 15 km of Natura 2000 river is affected by this excessive abstraction. The fish follow the water - upstream migrating fish get trapped in the tailrace, and downstream migrating fish end up in the unscreened turbines. The Lower River Shannon was once one of the most famous salmon fisheries in the world and was renowned for its very large salmon. The runs collapsed following the construction of the hydroelectric scheme. This was not only due to the inadequacy of the fish passes - unsustainable water management was a key driver in the collapse. But it does not have to be like this. The river channel in the photo is still there, and it can be restored by providing increased and varied flows. Sustainable water management would also solve many of the fish passage problems. There is nothing in the Shannon Fisheries Act (1935) preventing the ESB from leaving more water in the river. No engineering changes are required. The current management of this Natura 2000 river is also incompatible with the legal requirements of the EU Habitats and Water Framework Directives.
