It is a potential infringement of people's human rights to access safe water. As it is very serious, I would be grateful were Mr. Rowe to come back to the committee on it and on what steps his organisation will take to address that. There is no excuse for that at all.

We got a huge amount of correspondence on this issue but one thing that was raised is we were told that at present, people who contact Waterways Ireland about having a boat lifted onto a canal are told there is a moratorium on this until the new by-laws are in place. Is it the case there is a moratorium on boats being lifted onto a canal?
