Senator Phelan spoke about the Shannon waterways. I come from a little village in County Clare called Mount Shannon, which sits on Lough Derg on the River Shannon. It has a nice little harbour and it certainly does quite well from the tourism sector and the boating sector of hired craft which are travelling the waterways. The advent of the Shannon-Erne link has created a much greater capacity for tourism in that particular sector. The Minister of State, Deputy de Valera, is well aware of this and paid particular attention to that while she was in the previous Department, setting up that North-South body and being actively involved in it. I want to recognise her involvement and thank her for that, including the placing of an office of the North-South waterways body in the nearby village of Scariff. That is certainly an area which has been underdeveloped in my view. Some of the facilities are underdeveloped. There is probably greater capacity in that area in terms of the number of boats that are on the River Shannon provided through the hire companies. In the past there were some good EU grants which were beneficial. We now have capacity in terms of boats but we need to look to the further development of facilities, both on the river and in the villages and towns that sit on the River Shannon.
