View answerWaterways Ireland is a navigation authority, responsible for the management, maintenance, development and promotion of over 1000 km of inland navigable waterways, principally for recreational purposes. It is the freehold owner of the Graving Dock site known as City Block 19, located at Ringsend, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin.
The site is designated within the North Lotts and Grand Canal Strategic Development Zone(SDZ) for residential, commercial and community development. Waterways Ireland is continuing to examine options including a potential disposal of the site. Should a disposal be progressed a minimum reserve price would be placed on the site reflecting a fair market value.
