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 (Resumed)

Mr. ?anna Rowe:

Any moneys raised from houseboat permits will be reinvested in the services provided for houseboats. On Grand Canal Dock, there is capital investment in the 20 jetties that are provided, the electricity bollards, the services that come out from the shore, refuse collection, security and all of that. That is not documented at the minute but it is our intention to document it, so that there is a clear correlation between the permit fee raised for houseboats and what is reinvested for the services for houseboats.
