- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Waterways Ireland (4 Jul 2024)
Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I think the consultation process has closed now. I would have thought it was a fantastic opportunity, especially because it is sustainable tourism. It is an outstanding sustainable tourism offer.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Waterways Ireland (4 Jul 2024)
Marc Ó Cathasaigh: It would have been a good opportunity to have made a submission to that consultation because I do not think Waterways Ireland would have had to recreate the wheel because it has much of the work done. I think it would have made for a powerful submission. I ask about the Barrow tourism master plan and particularly a part of the world I am extremely fond of, which is Graiguenamanagh to St....

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: Could I restate the question a little bit baldly? Where is Mr. McDonagh's thinking at in terms of the retention of the towpath as it is or hard surfacing?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Waterways Ireland (4 Jul 2024)
Marc Ó Cathasaigh: From Graiguenamanagh to St. Mullin's in particular.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Waterways Ireland (4 Jul 2024)
Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I am not quite getting an answer.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Waterways Ireland (4 Jul 2024)
Marc Ó Cathasaigh: That is it, essentially.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Waterways Ireland (4 Jul 2024)
Marc Ó Cathasaigh: At least Mr. Rowe is answering it.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Waterways Ireland (4 Jul 2024)
Marc Ó Cathasaigh: This is my very last question, because the Chair will shut me down very shortly. He is ruthless.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Waterways Ireland (4 Jul 2024)
Marc Ó Cathasaigh: Limerick city to Scarriff?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Waterways Ireland (4 Jul 2024)
Marc Ó Cathasaigh: My question is about the timeline. When do we expect bikes to be able to get from Scarriff to the University of Limerick?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Waterways Ireland (4 Jul 2024)
Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I thank Mr. Rowe.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Waterways Ireland (4 Jul 2024)
Catherine Murphy: I have a number of questions. The witnesses from Waterways Ireland stated that May 2023 was the last time they put a stop to spending in areas that are subject to unauthorised development. What kind of money had been spent? Was it frequent expenditure or a one-off? Could they give some sort of indication about it?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Waterways Ireland (4 Jul 2024)
Catherine Murphy: Was it known that the marinas were unauthorised when that was done?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Waterways Ireland (4 Jul 2024)
Catherine Murphy: Is that where there was an alternative?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Waterways Ireland (4 Jul 2024)
Catherine Murphy: I am sure that was something that really annoyed people who were doing things legally and right.
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Waterways Ireland (4 Jul 2024)
Catherine Murphy: I can understand that. When Mr. Rowe talks about affordability and looking at the by-laws, does he look at options where people do not require all the services or do they have to take the entire package?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Waterways Ireland (4 Jul 2024)
Catherine Murphy: I thank Mr. Rowe. I am intrigued by the slips and falls. We frequently have the State Claims Agency before the committee. The amount of money talked about in this case is astronomical in comparison with what we talk about in terms of other organisations. There is something involved here that is more than trips and falls. Will Mr. McDonagh tell us what it is?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Waterways Ireland (4 Jul 2024)
Catherine Murphy: What is the nature of the issue?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Waterways Ireland (4 Jul 2024)
Catherine Murphy: I thank Mr. McDonagh. I will go back to the Blackhorse Bridge incident. It was noticed that there was a floating barrier to catch the fluids that had come from the ESB cables. How often has that kind of thing happened?
- Public Accounts Committee: Financial Statements 2022: Waterways Ireland (4 Jul 2024)
Catherine Murphy: Okay. It is good to hear that it is an unusual case. It came to light when a diligent passer-by noticed it. How do on-the-spot fines work? The whole idea is that we would not end up having to have fines, which are more or less to stop behaviour. Will the witnesses give an indication of how they are applied and what kind of income is realised?
