December 1765, Irish House of Commons Vote £2,000 to Improve Navigation on Bandon River between Innishannon and Enniskeane, Co. Cork (Money not Spent).

This would have been some time after Sir Richard Cox westwards built Dunmanway and established the Linen industry.

Over the years various schemes including canals were mooted over the River Bandon.
