Shannon Lakes & Rivers Group says new bylaws will drive boat owners off the river, with drastic consequences for small businesses
Shannon Lakes & Rivers Group says new bylaws will drive boat owners off the river, with drastic consequences for small businesses proceeds with planned new charges and rules, according to a group representing hundreds of boat owners and riverside businesses.
The SLRG says there was a 21 per cent drop from 2018 to 2023, when lock passages went from 45,298 to 35,667 while another sharp drop is expected this year. “I don’t want to overstep the mark and five days is fair enough, but if we go into Carrick for a few hours to do a bit of shopping, is that a day? They are treating us all like hoggers.
John Pierce, who has run the Barge pub and restaurant in Leitrim village for 30 years, said a drop in traffic on the river was affecting all businesses in the village. “I had 10 Germans here last night, the only crowd I had in. In years gone by, you could not get in the door,” said the chairman of the Leitrim branch of the VFI.
