The ESB connected power to the new jetty yesterday morning and they are tuned
to operate with the village light up time as they did last night.
The Duchas people were working on the jetty last evening so we took a peep.
There is a wide tarmac area leading to the bottom of the hill with a launching
pad for boats just up from the end of the old jetty.There are two large planted
shrub beds each side of this tarmac with timber lattice work beside the footpath.
The approach to the jetty is pedestrianised and the area is enclosed with a timber
fence at the bottom.The bay is square shaped with the jetty across the mouth
of the bay.There is a restricted area in the inside for use of local lake boats.
Some ground levelling remains but the Duchas people are not concerned about access
for anglers and walkers which they say is Shannon fisheries baby.Cars are not
allowed within 50 yards of the jetty which awaits the ramp to be fitted.
Apologies to the Contractor who I thought has been working three years on and off
on the jetty and surrounds. Duchas did all this themselves.It looks a pleasant feature
and they plan to erect a safety barrier on the wall running down on the left hand side.
