637. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government to ensure that his Department liaises with Waterways Ireland to install public bins along the Goldenbridge Walk footpath along the Grand Canal in Dublin 8, as there are no public waste bins in this area which contributes to littering; if his Department will liaise with Waterways Ireland regarding establishment of a regular and sufficient schedule for emptying these bins; and if his Department will liaise with Waterways Ireland after a period of time to review and ensure the number of bins and emptying schedule remain sufficient.

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 detailed information requested in relation to the installation of public bins along the Grand Canal by Waterways Ireland is not held in my Department. However, 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 oireachtas@waterwaysireland.org .
