Written answers

Waterways Ireland is the navigation authority for the Erne System.

The western limit of navigation on the Erne System as managed by Waterways Ireland is at Belleek, Co. Fermanagh where there is a marina with services.

There are no plans at this time to extend the navigation farther west to the Atlantic coast at the Erne estuary.
