Sometimes you just have to see something once to realise its magic and this was certainly the case when AgriLand visited Meelick in Co. Gal way recently. The area boasts a picturesque rural Irish landscape that serves as the perfect backdrop to the River Shannon which allows the three counties of Galway, Offaly and Tipperary to meet.
And, right now, the historic Meelick weir is undergoing a ma jor restoration and replacement operation that will see it returned to its former glory in the not – to – distant future.
The project – which received a cash injection of €3.2 million – is being undertaken by Waterways Ireland in conjunction with Keating Construction and with two months ’ work already completed it is envisaged that the effort will be finished before the end of the year.
