Eugene Murphy feels the ESB can do much more if they have the power to control flood events along the river.

The ESB would have more freedom to control water levels along the River Shannon, under a bill to be launched today.

Fianna Fáil senator Eugene Murphy is proposing the legislation, to address flooding issues.

He wants the ESB to have less restrictions to carry out works on the Shannon Lakes, including dredging.
