The Deputy will be aware that Waterways Ireland falls within the ambit of my Department. I have been advised by that body that it is not involved in the Rivers and Waterways Tourism Initiative referred to by the Deputy. The Deputy may wish to pursue the matter with my colleague, the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, who has overall responsibility for tourism affairs.
