Carlow is one of the areas that will be most affected by the fee, if it is introduced, of €150 after the five day rule. When I read the Bill again I was very disappointed to note that there is no reference to tourism.

The River Barrow and the canals are the jewel in the crown. They are part of our heritage-----
