42. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government the reason a licensed boat owner who has had their boat moored in Killarney, County Kerry (details supplied) for the past ten years has been asked by the National Parks and Wildlife Service to remove the boat; if this decision will be immediately reviewed; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

There are 20 boat moorings on the Lakes and these moorings are subject to a local lottery and are allocated annually for a twelve month period.  With regard to the use of fishing/pleasure boats at the site mentioned my Department does not issue new permanent mooring spots.

The National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) of my Department is happy to include all names in the annual lottery and interested parties should contact the Duty Ranger in the National Park with a view to being included in the next lottery allocation.
