333. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government the reason Waterways Ireland does not supply electricity to boats moored in Lough Derg over the winter months; if there are plans to change this protocol; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2348/24]

Waterways Ireland is a North/South Implementation Body established under the British Irish Agreement of 10 April 1998. It is funded by my Department and the Department for Infrastructure in Northern Ireland.
The information requested in relation to the protocol for supply of electricity to boats on Lough Derg during the winter months is not held in my Department. Arrangements have been put in place by all bodies under the aegis of my Department to facilitate the provision of information directly to members of the Oireachtas. This provides a speedy, efficient and cost effective system to address queries directly to the relevant bodies. The contact email address for Waterways Ireland is ceoffice@waterwaysireland.org
