Does this mean that Minister Deenihan intends to backdate these new bye laws?
Surely it is unjust and unfair to backdate a law that ultimately will make people homeless as a result?
Is the Minister aware that Waterways Ireland breached the bye laws when they issued invalid permits for 2013 -2014.
The bye laws state that all permits are for stated periods or journeys.
The stated period on the 2013 -2014 annual combined mooring and passage permit is " One Day "
Is Minister Deenihan aware That non compliant boats are non compliant because they would not sign an unfair contract?
It is my belief that these new bye laws "if introduced and applied retrospectively " will deny people their Constitutional right to equality under the law.

Any man who decides to put a boat on the canal after these bye laws are amended has the benefit of choice.
Those already on the canals will be denied the same choice.
