Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

North-South Implementation Bodies: Waterways Ireland and Loughs Agency

2:15 pm

Ms Dawn Livingstone:

I will address the question on the Newry Canal and Portadown. As part of the work of creating a greenway along Ulster Canal, we have undertaken a strategic study with our local authority partners and looked at all of the connections. We have also undertaken the environmental studies that are required if they are to be developed. We are trying to put the background work in place. That roadmap is ready for when funding opportunities become available. A lot of the work needed to capitalise on funding opportunities has been done. That ties into what is already a very successful route.
