RTÉ recently ran a story on pollution by the ESB. I do not know whether the Minister has had any communications with Waterways Ireland to ensure the ESB funds any works required to undo the damage the company has done.

Will the Minister ask Waterways Ireland the reason no enhancement works have been carried out on the Grand Canal between Harold's Cross and Blackhorse? I have put this question to previous Ministers. What Waterways Ireland has done in all other areas is fabulous but no works have been carried out on paths and towpaths in that area and there are no moorings. There is a need to address that. Is it because this section of the canal goes through a mainly working-class area or is it because this is a forgotten part of the canal?
