Mr. Joe Boland:

The River Liffey is different to other rivers and has a specific legislative code associated with it by virtue of the involvement of the ESB and the extraction of water for the generation of electricity. There is a specific Act relating to the River Liffey, namely, the Liffey Reservoir Act of 1936.
