Waterways Ireland 10-year plan to invest €200m in first three years, north-south body says.
Dublin’s docklands could be transformed into “a giant urban playground for people of all ages, abilities, and interests,” according to a 10-year plan published by Waterways Ireland this week.
The plan, which sets out a strategic vision for developing recreational opportunities across Ireland’s waterways, greenways and blueways, will invest €200m in its first three years.
Waterways Ireland is the cross-border body responsible for managing and developing Ireland’s inland navigable waterways. It covers 1,100km of canals, rivers and lakes as well as over 600km of cycleways and trails.
