Three important documents [all PDFs] available for download from WI’s site:
- Action Plan for Grand Canal Dock and Spencer Dock here
- Grand Canal (rural) Product Development Study here
- Royal Canal (rural) Product Development Study here.
These are lengthy documents [50, 177 and 175 pages respectively] and it will be some time before I can comment on them, but I welcome their publication. I also hope to be able to comment on the presentation Ireland’s Inland Waterways – Building a Tourism Destination which WI made to the recent meeting of the NSMC; I’m told it’s on its way to me but it hasn’t arrived yet.
