Waterways Ireland: Discussion.

Mr. Éanna Rowe:
The charges we are proposing are for the serviced sites. None of the charges that apply for serviced sites would be applied to unserviced sites. If someone is on a serviced site in a rural area it is €1,000 but we only have eight of those berths available. We need to invest in the infrastructure, and that will cost upwards of €12 million, and once those serviced sites are available those fees apply. However, those fees do not apply if we do not have a serviced site to offer the person. One cannot charge a service permit and we would not attempt to either.
