"Arthur" arrived at Parteen Weir on July 20th 2010 circa 17.45 having made prior arrangements with Ger Reid (Ardnacrusha Lock-keeper). Unfortunately the barriers, which are controlled from Ardnacrusha, could not be raised and consequently we could not proceed until someone was despatched to fix the problem.

  • After a relatively short time the problem was fixed and we were able to proceed through the sluice gate whereupon we discovered another new facility had been installed on the other side of the sluice gate!
  • And Voila.....a temporary mooring to facilitate the use of the keypad attached to the wall which should open/close the sluice gate. At time of our passage work was ongoing and at present boaters are required to make contact with Ardnacrusha in order to have the gate opened.
  • Ardnacrusha...
  • Entering the upper chamber where extra 'risers' (the rubber covered chains suspended on the side of the walls) have been installed to assist boaters using the facility. Extra risers have also been installed in the lower chamber. Personally speaking, we would be happy to see more risers installed in both chambers.
  • Oooopppsss! Where did this come from? A similar sign has been installed in the lower chamber! Wonder what prompted this development? The signs were not present when we returned from Limerick at the beginning of July!
