Mr. Nigel Russell:

As Deputy Humphreys rightly said, Waterways Ireland is facilitating this project. Waterways Ireland does not own the Naomh Éanna; it is owned privately by the Irish Nautical Trust. The Frank Jackson marine survey was done privately for the Irish Nautical Trust, and Waterways Ireland is relying on that survey for its information on the boat. As Waterways Ireland does not own the boat, Waterways Ireland has no proposals to do a further marine survey on it. As the Deputy will have picked up from the marine survey to date, it states that it is fragile.
