349. To ask the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if she can accommodate access to shore power and water, and safe access to boats for a person (details supplied) who is being requested to move by Waterways Ireland; the reason no alternative space with access to shore power has been offered to date, with particular reference to the fact that it is required for medical reasons; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Waterways Ireland has informed me that it has been in communication with the person referred to by the Deputy since January 2016 when an offer of a fully serviced alternative berth was first made. As Waterways Ireland received no response to this offer, a further offer of a serviced space was made in the last fortnight but this has not been accepted to date.
