116 Mr. Ellis asked the Minister for Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht the plans, if any, he has to develop the mooring facilities on the Shannon/Erne Waterway at Leitrim village, Kilclare, Keshcarrigan, Ballinamore and Ballinacur. [13024/95]
A recent survey of boat traffic and of the use of mooring facilities on the Shannon-Erne Waterway indicates that the existing facilities will require to be augmented in a number of areas, including, in particular, Keshcarrigan, Ballinamore and Leitrim.
While there are no funds available to me at present for the provision of additional moorings in any of these areas, I am, however, examining the possibility of securing alternative funding and I have asked the Waterways Service to consider where and how best additional mooring facilities could be provided if such funds become available.
