Question 95: To ask the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs if he has had discussions with Waterways Ireland or has given directives to that agency in relation to the provision of funding or grant assistance to groups or individuals seeking to provide inland marinas or harbour facilities on rivers or canals here; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Waterways Ireland has responsibility for the management, maintenance, development and restoration of the inland navigational waterways primarily for recreational purposes. Waterways Ireland carries out a capital development programme to provide moorings and harbours for public use and other services along the navigation. However, it is not a grant-giving agency and does not provide financial assistance for groups or individuals to provide similar facilities.
