A series of public meetings will be held over the coming weeks to discuss water bodies in Limerick City and County in the context of the draft River Basin Management Plan (2018-2021).
Are you are interested in water quality, biodiversity, heritage, water based recreation and tourism? Are there issues affecting your local water body, be it a stream, river, lake or coastal area? Then this is an opportunity for you to have your say.
The meetings will outline what is included in the draft Plan along with details on how you can input into the final plan.
The Waters & Communities Office aims to get local communities more actively involved in protecting and enhancing local water bodies. The meetings will provide an opportunity for you to influence policy and local programme measures and projects.
Ruairí Ó Conchúir, Community Waters Officer, will present information on the draft Plan and facilitate a discussion on issues emerging including funding opportunities for local community projects. The meetings will be an important networking opportunity. For more info contact 085 808 3715 / 061 556310 or roconchuir@lawco.ie .
