Question 310: To ask the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs the progress, or otherwise, regarding the provision of private mooring facilities beside the Waterways Ireland marina at Leitrim village in County Leitrim; if Waterways Ireland is satisfied with the progress of the developer to date in fulfilling its obligations as agreed with its engineers; and if he is confident that the extra mooring places will be open before the summer 2009 season.

I have been informed by Waterways Ireland that it has entered into an agreement with the developer of the project referred to by the Deputy, which involves a lease for access purposes of Waterways Ireland property in return for the provision of public moorings by the developer. Progression of the project, including the planned moorings, has been slow but I understand that Waterways Ireland continues to liaise with the developer in this regard. However, progress to final completion is a matter for the developer as this is essentially a private development rather than a Waterways Ireland project.
