My next question relates to people who live permanently on a barge.

Who is responsible for the domestic waste collections? We do not have permanent residential barges on the stretch of the Royal Canal where I live, around Cabra and Drumcondra, so I do not have an issue there. What has repeatedly arisen as an issue in terms of the maintenance of the canal, is the cleaning of the towpath, particularly after match days. I appreciate that that is not domestic waste and is not from people who are living on barges but this no-man's land between city council jurisdiction and Waterways Ireland for the canal towpath is a persistent issue that I hope will be fixed with the upgrading of the greenway. It also then prompted the question in my mind as to what actually happens for people who are living on the canal on a permanent basis? Can Mr. Rowe please explain that?
