Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 June 2019
778. Deputy Peter Burke asked the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht if she will direct Waterways Ireland to carry out work to alleviate a dangerous situation (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [26337/19]
View answerWaterways Ireland is operationally independent in regard to its management of the inland waterways under its remit therefore I do not have any function in this regard.
I am informed however that the area to which the Deputy refers has been inspected by Waterways Ireland Operations staff and all areas where mowed grass was evident on the trackway have been cleared. No evidence of structural damage to existing tar surfaces was observed.
