It is ensuring there is public access and that public access is something that is there and is free and available to everyone. If I were to put a boat in Garadice Lough in County Leitrim, which the canal runs through, Mr. Rowe is telling me there is going to be a charge for it, yet if I go up the road and put a boat in Keeldra Lough, which is not part of the canal, there will be no charge. Where does the public access come in there? How can we say to the public it depends on which bit of water they put their boat on?
