Cross-Border body unveils 10-year plan for ‘transformative change’ in how waterways are operated
“It is a wide remint in terms of what the revisions are going to encompass”, Mr McDonagh told The Irish Times. “That is because these byelaws are way outdated. So this is actually a very big initiative.” He said there has been a lot of discussions with waterways users in advance of the formal public consultation which extends to October.
Mr McDonagh said Waterways Ireland was working with other arms of Government and local authorities to fund greenways and blueways. Somewhat controversially, Waterways Ireland wants to sell off the former Graving Docks in Ringsend. Mr McDonagh said the graving docks were protected structures so they would not be lost as heritage artefacts.
