As the Deputy will be aware, the National Development Plan 2007 — 2013 indicates that work is under way to explore the possibility of restoring the Ulster Canal to provide a major inland waterway for the border region.

My Department continues to liaise with the Department of Culture, Arts and Leisure in the North with a view to taking this issue forward and I am hopeful of being in a position to make a further announcement before too long.
