Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Waterways Ireland: Discussion.

3:00 pm

Mr. Éanna Rowe:

As I said, we are dealing with a brownfield situation, where houseboat communities have sprung up from the ground on our waterways with no services adjacent to them. It is possible that the rationale for the location of houseboats is to do with access to the city and public transport. The consideration of houseboat communities regarding access to services is not taken on board.
