Does the Minister want the number of waterways under the remit of Waterways Ireland to be increased? There is a canal running from Navan to Drogheda which is in bad repair and which does not come under the remit of Waterways Ireland. If it was, it might be more likely to receive the funding necessary to make it a tourist and citizens' amenity. Has the Minister considered that option?
