Salmon run at Mulkear river, tributary of River Shannon

 



 

It is heart breaking to see salmon trying, without success, to jump up the too high artificial weir to go upstream to spawn, they died of exhaustion in the water. Being a protected species and in rapid decline in the rivers, it is a shame that the government does not take action to destroy the weir, that serves no purpose, or to make a pass on one side.
