I received some correspondence today which I expect many of us have. I will make two points. Waterways Ireland wishes to use by-laws to generate income yet it has no customer charter and no dispute resolution system other than the courts. All these should be in place before Waterways Ireland receives permission to increase its fees and charges. I think that is reasonable; I do not know if it is factually correct.

Two county councils have voted unanimously against the introduction of the Shannon by-laws, namely, Leitrim County Council and Offaly County Council. They are hugely impacted by all this. There are good reasons they voted against them. I understand Roscommon County Council and Longford County Council will follow suit. Those four local authorities are very impacted by this and it appears they are all against it. What would Waterways Ireland say on those two matters?
