Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Waterways Ireland: Discussion.

3:00 pm

Mr. Éanna Rowe:

We have a registration system under the Shannon Navigation Act. Those figures are from that registration system. It has grown from 6,000 to 9,000. However, I agree the market trends have changed, as I said earlier. People are not taking a week, ten days or two weeks on the Shannon. They are doing short breaks and shorter stints. Particularly from Thursdays to Sundays, one will see much more traffic on the Shannon than on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
