National Tourism Development Authority Bill, 2002: Second Stage.
It is important to develop the water infrastructure in the midlands. We should link the Royal Canal at the Boyne aqueduct in Longwood, County Meath, to an extended and restored Boyne navigation and westwards to Ballyconnell and the Erne Waterway. A great job was done ten or 12 years ago on the Erne Waterway and it could be developed and linked up with midlands and the eastern part of the country. There is a lot of food for thought in these proposals and they should be given serious consideration. There is neglect in terms of providing this type of infrastructure in the midland region.
