What is the current status of canal works West of Mullingar? Is there a target date for the completion of works and the opening of the navigation?

A. The final phase of the Royal Canal Restoration Programme is currently underway. This phase will see the Royal Canal restored to the Shannon Navigation at Clondra and involves dredging the Navigation, restoring lock chambers and installing lock gates, bog restoration work and a bridge replacement programme for culverted bridges. The Royal Canal is currently navigable between Dublin and Ballybrannigan Harbour just outside Ballymahon in Co Longford. Waterways Ireland are in the process of carrying out restoration works on the Royal Canal between Ballybrannigan Harbour and the Shannon Navigation at Clondara. It is estimated that these works will be completed during 2008.
