On the other thing that our canals could usefully be used for, my cousin is a carpenter. His first house was a houseboat. He bought one, fitted it out and he and his partner lived very happily there for many years. When they started their family, they decided that maybe a canal was not the best place for a toddler, which I can understand. According to Waterways Ireland's figures, we have 150 houseboats. Can Mr. McDonagh tell me how many residential extended mooring permits we have granted?
