Claims Changes To Regulations Around Water Bodies Necessary For East Clare Tourism Boost

Waterways Ireland is proposing changes to its bye-laws to enable the protection of biodiversity, water quality, heritage as well as the wellbeing of the users of waterways. The consultation process will conclude tomorrow on the 27th of October and 850 submissions have been received so far. Inspector of Navigation of Waterways Ireland Paddy Harkin says updating the bye-laws and putting an emphasis on safety would serve to attract more people to the likes of Killaloe and Mountshannon.
