Mr. ?anna Rowe:

I thank the Senator. I will discuss the last point first. The KPMG report we commissioned used the very metric which Mr. Galway mentioned with regard to the calculations that it made on what would be reasonable to charge for a houseboat permit. We have taken that on board but have come in with a much lower figure because, as I said already, we are conscious of starting from zero and getting to a place where we can support vibrant houseboat communities.

In the context of Dublin, we have 20 serviced sites now. We hope to increase that to 40 through the planning process. We have a waiting list of 127 boats for those jetties. So the demand is there.
