I am informed by Waterways Ireland that it has supported the event referred to by the Deputy since its inception through the Waterways Ireland Sponsorship Programme, event promotion, marketing and operational support. I have also been advised that Waterways Ireland is unaware of any request from the organisers to provide new facilities on Waterways Ireland property for the event and that there are already a number of existing facilities in the area. While enquiries have been made to Waterways Ireland about a certain facility, I understand that it is not located within or close to Waterways Ireland's area of responsibility.
