Is it possible to launch a vehicle on the River Lee in County Cork?
A. The River Lee is not under the remit of Waterways Ireland. Waterways Ireland is responsible for the management, maintenance, development and restoration of the inland navigable waterway systems throughout Ireland, principally for recreational purposes. The waterways under the remit of Waterways Ireland are the Lower Bann Navigation, the Erne System, the Shannon-Erne Waterway, the Shannon Navigation, the Barrow Navigation, the Grand Canal and the Royal Canal. For help with your query you should contact either Cork County Council or Cork City Council. One section of the Lee, the Inishcarra Reservoir, is controlled by the ESB, which allows angling, rowing, sailing and the use of boats with outboards up to 6hp, but permits are required.
