Clare is said to be "back on track" regarding protecting the biodiversity of its rivers following a €1.3 million funding allocation. The Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage has announced the funds as part of the National Barrier Mitigation Programme which is intended to address artificial barriers to fish migration. A total of nine projects in Clare are being supported through the initiative. Tulla-based Fianna Fáil Minister of State for Fisheries and the Marine Timmy Dooley says the county's waterways will be healthier and more resilient going forward.
