Ms Dawn Livingstone:

I will work in reverse order and the Deputy can pull me up if I drop any. On the visitor permit, there are 14,000 boats on the navigations and 500 on the canals. Not all the boats on the other navigations will fit on the canals, but a fair percentage of them will. We want to attract those people to come on to the canals and make significant journeys. They should come and join the rallies and the other events the IWAI runs. We need to increase the number of people using them and increase the benefits economically and recreationally to the local communities.

On promoting the canals, we have worked very closely with Fáilte Ireland, NITB and Tourism Ireland through the lake lands and inland waterways initiative to place the inland navigations at the very centre of Ireland's tourism product when it is promoted both here and abroad. By pooling our resources we have tried to maximise the impact of that. We also work closely with local authorities and leaders to bring together development and promotion on a local scale.

On the challenges we face, like all public bodies we have declining resources. Someone asked how capital expenditure was funded. It is funded by each jurisdiction in which we work. As with all bodies that has been a declining resource. Waterways Ireland has had a 24% reduction in funding over the past three-year period and will have further reductions in the next three-year period.

What was the other question?
