Waterways Ireland has informed me that the Body is not in a position to provide details of commercial operating licences issued for the period 1992 to 1999 prior to its inception.
Waterways Ireland commenced issuing commercial operating licences in 2002 with the first operating licence being issued on the Shannon Navigation in 2005. Details of all commercial operating licences issued on the Shannon Navigation by Waterways Ireland are listed in the table.
