I propose to take Questions Nos. 212 and 213 together.

I have been informed by Waterways Ireland that the terms of a lease have been agreed between Waterways Ireland and the private developer at Leitrim Village and the related legal documents are currently with Waterways Ireland's solicitor for completion. The moorings, when completed, will be in keeping with existing Waterways Ireland facilities in Leitrim Village. I am also advised that management by Waterways Ireland of the public moorings on the new mooring facilities at Leitrim Village, will commence, in line with its bye-laws, when the lease in question has been signed and all outstanding matters have been concluded.

Question No. 214 answered with Question No. 9.

Question No. 215 answered with Question No. 54.
