View answer340. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he will investigate concerns is that approximately 20 marinas are operating without permission or authorisation from Waterways Ireland; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33480/23]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 339 and 340 together.
The registration, licensing and operation of marinas is managed by Waterways Ireland, a North South body sponsored by my Department and the Department for Infrastructure in Northern Ireland.
Arrangements have been put in place by all bodies under the aegis of my Department to facilitate the provision of information directly to members of the Oireachtas. This provides a speedy, efficient and cost effective system to address queries directly to the relevant bodies. The relevant contact email address for Waterways Ireland is ceoffice@waterwaysireland.org.
