I thank the Minister for his response. I appreciate the valuable work being done by Waterways Ireland. I appreciate its desire to accumulate to invest in the development of the inland waterways, but whereas it is to be complimented on what it is doing in terms of using the waterways and the schedule of charges for tourists that might come into the country, it shows an appalling lack of understanding of the indigenous users - both residential and amenity - of our inland waterways.
