Tipperary community cleans up 'half river' despite being hit with bureaucratic wall!

Recently the Fisheries Board was asked to have a look at the half river at the back of the green in Ardfinnan because it was in an awful state, completely overgrown and little or no water flowed through it.

It seemed nothing moved in it and the wild life geese included couldn't access it.

The Board said they could do nothing with it and that no machinery would be allowed in to the river to clean it up.

So once again the mighty Friday Night Crew came to the rescue and through sheer manual labour and determination they did a great job cleaning it up.

The geese have returned, ducks and water hens can now be seen parading the families again.
