Tony Gregory

Question:

177 Mr. Gregory asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage Gaeltacht and the Islands if she will request Dúchas to clean up and/or landscape the side bank of the Royal Canal at Cross Guns Bridge, Dublin 9, along the access route into Blacquire Villas, Dublin 7. [15872/00]

Waterways Ireland, a North/South Implementation Body for inland waterways, was established on 2 December 1999 on foot of the British-Irish Agreement and the supplementary implementation bodies Agreement signed in March 1999. It has the functions of management, maintenance, development and restoration of certain inland navigable waterways systems throughout the island, principally for recreational purposes. Accordingly, any request for cleaning or landscaping canal property is now a matter for consideration by Waterways Ireland and should be taken up directly with that agency.
