[@orlaquinn8988]

Great work Bobby and team. Would have liked to hear more about what happened out at sea but I loved the ending. Leo Boyle's view was the highlight!

[@Glad2bBack]

Brilliant work Bobby & crew.

very good documentary, i enjoyed it thanks

Great doco. beautifully shot and gives the diverse opinions which illustrate the complexity of the issue. wouldn't it be great to open up the Boyne again for passenger boats as it was in the 1920's? The one off investment in infrastructure to make the locks operable would be repaid many times over time. Historic Drogheda, Battle of the Boyne site, Newgrange, Slane Hill, Navan. Surely one of the great short boat trips in the world and Ireland's history in a nutshell. Enda Murray

IFI still going around with the hands in the pockets

[@earlcoyle1977]

fish counters under st Mary bridge in Drogheda that's were they should be

[@anthonybarrett79]

your missing the point earl. they were trusted to report there catch for estimation of fish numbers in the river.didnt so it was shut.. the damage is been done at sea and not just to salmon so its must that no salmon be killed in the boyne .. oh and what you doing sticking up for the same people who want to ban you for life of the river ??

[@anthonybarrett79]

aye but them only have themselves to blame ,not tagging or reporting the salmon they were killing so river is shut now ..severs them right

[@earlcoyle1977]

hahahaha funny

[@anthonybarrett79]

salmon anglers mad for the kill.. oh well hard luck lads..

[@Mr.krabz2182]

Its a resource mate, salmon will just die anyway after the cycle

[@anthonybarrett79]

would you trust the state with anything ??like your children ?? mmm i think i know the answer to that ol boy
