Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage

I propose to take Questions Nos. 441 and 442 together.

Waterways Ireland established a dedicated land recovery and first registration team in 2021 to research, lodge and register its property portfolio. This work is ongoing and it is anticipated that registration of the complete property portfolio will take three to five years. Currently, 52% of the property is registered or at an advanced stage of registration.

Question No. 442 answered with Question No. 441.
