Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Proposed Changes to River Shannon, Grand and Royal Canals and River Barrow Navigation By-laws: Discussion

Mr. ?anna Rowe:

We are into legal rights here regarding adverse possession of property, etc. In identifying sites as suitable for houseboat locations, we will consult our partners in the local authorities and boaters. In general, subject to planning permission, we will try as far as possible to locate those houseboat facilities at or adjacent to where we have existing houseboat communities.
