Inland Waterways

Inland Waterways Content

Ireland’s inland waterways are important parts of our transport and industrial heritage. They hold aesthetic, recreational and spiritual values, as well as important habitats for many forms of wildlife.

Waterways Corridor Studies (2002-2006)

Together the studies total over 1,850 pages of research, analysis and recommendations for the sustainable development of the Shannon and sections of the Grand and Royal Canals. Access is provided to the report documents, valuable baseline surveys of the ecological, archaeological/ architectural heritage of the Shannon, as well as planning and socio-economic and landscape documents, and the original study maps.
