Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Proposed Changes to River Shannon, Grand and Royal Canals and River Barrow Navigation By-laws: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Patrick Harkin:

Yes. In regard to the facilities in Grand Canal Dock, first of all there is security. There is a keypad entrance fence with a gate. It is a very high-quality, modern, floating jetty system. On that jetty there is electricity available for each boat. There is refuse removal.

There is water and a pump-out facility on the jetties, so some of the boats have to move around the jetty to pump out water. Those boats in Dublin pay a fee of €300 for services for the entire year.
