The structures are old, rusted and damaged eel cages and salmon traps at Salmon Weir and further down in an area known as Queen's Gap.

Emergency services have long-called for their removal, as rescuers cannot enter the water at these locations due to the danger.

Councillor Niall McNelis says they've been looking for this for years and so far nothing has been done.
