I do not see how a speed limit would be enforceable anyway. Common courtesy by people who use shared spaces is what we should be looking for there. I have a question about lockkeepers' houses. Are there many such houses still in existence? Are they still in the possession of Waterways Ireland? Lockkeepers get old and may not be needed as much anymore. When the houses are not needed, do they go back into community use or are they used as maintenance depots? What do they become?
