Mr. Éanna Rowe:

I understand it but the by-laws are also a legacy issue. They are over 32 years old. The encroachments are a legacy issue and we are applying the same vigour to both processes. It is fair to say that when we were established, some of the legacy issues we were dealing with were around property issues on the Royal Canal and Grand Canal. We restored the Royal Canal and undertook the first registration of the entire property along it. It is important we understand we had legacy issues about property right across the navigations. We are dealing with the Shannon now in an accelerated way. We have 430 alleged encroachments and are actively working on 55 in the first year of this new encroachments team we have established.
