The Deputy will be aware that the Barrow Navigation runs from the confluence of the Barrow Line of the Grand Canal with the Barrow River at Horse Bridge in Athy, Co Kildare, to St Mullins in Co Carlow. However, the actual harbour to which the Deputy refers is on the River Barrow upstream of Horse Bridge and therefore is not within Waterways Ireland's navigational remit.

I have no statutory responsibility in relation to any other agency that may have a role in the matter.
