Jimmy Deenihan (Kerry North-West Limerick, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am aware Deputy Anthony Lawlor has a personal interest in this matter and has raised it with me on a number of occasions.

As promised, I will come back to the Deputies and Senators who have expressed an interest before I make a final decision. Eventually, I will get the proposals from Waterways Ireland and my Department. I will discuss the sensitivities involved and the effect this will have on canal users.
