I am aware of the incident in 2020 on the Royal Canal which involved the removal of a tent and the injury of a man. This is something Waterways Ireland does on a regular basis. My point is that the amenity has to be reopened. That is the objective. Not reopening the amenity is not an option. It is not as if there are four options. There is only one option and that is to reopen the amenity. There might be costs which accrue from that and claims can be made to Departments, but reopening the amenity has to be the number 1 objective.
