Beat Three of Laune State Fishery

Location: Beat Three commences at Beaufort Bridge (right bank only) and continues for 2 miles to the Townland of Lahard.

Beat Three of the Laune Fishery, which is managed by the Laune Salmon & Trout Anglers’ Association, is one section of the Laune fishery which was bequeathed to the Irish nation by Senator Arthur Rose Vincent in conjunction with William Bowers Bourn and Agnes M. Bourn, in the Bourn Vincent Memorial Park Act, 1932.

Under the Act, the Trustee of the Fishery, on behalf of the people of Ireland, is the Minister for Finance of the day, and the management and control of the State Fishery is vested in the Office of Public Works.

Replacement Walkways and Stiles on Beat 3

Over the past few weeks the whole Committee have been working on Walkways to replace the ones that were removed from Beat 3 last year.  The walkways were re-installed on the 22nd of June.

A very fine stile has been installed at the boundary ditch between Breen's and Buckley's.  These improvements add greatly to the accessibility of the lower sections of the Beat.

 

Committee Members: Front L to R. Richard Bowler, Stewart Stephens, (Chairman) Mike Collins (Vice Chairman) Back, Denis O'Connor, Richard Barry, Noel Burke, Mike Crowley.
