Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Proposed Changes to River Shannon, Grand and Royal Canals and River Barrow Navigation By-laws: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Jerry Gleeson:

The issue for IRBOA at the time and, I believe, for the Grand Canal Dock residents, and we are united on this, was that we got our first meeting with Waterways Ireland about four days, I think, before the consultation period ended, and that was only because of the committee meeting and because Waterways Ireland felt pressured into it. We are pretty certain it did not want to talk to us at all or hear anything we had to say on prices or any other matter. That is our feeling.
