It is just that the Deputy was speaking in general terms also. The provision in the Heritage Bill is an enabling provision to allow Waterways Ireland make by-laws for the issue of permits or licences to authorise and regulate the use of boats on the canals and other canal property.

The Heritage Bill also contains a provision on page 4, lines 33 and 34, providing for the making of by-laws regulating the type or class of boat, including its dimensions, which may be used on the canals. This amended proposal is appropriate to the by-laws.
