Ms Dawn Livingstone:

I cannot run it. It is outside my statutory jurisdiction. The waterways we have were set in the legislation. They were added to with the requirement for the Ulster Canal. We added to them in 2015 by taking on the lead role in the development of a greenway along the Ulster Canal. It would have to be designated for us to do this.

There is nothing to stop us and we have done this stepping outside that and providing practical support to our local authority colleagues.
