#InlandWaters - Waterways Ireland advises masters and owners of vessels on the Royal Canal at the Clondra, Co Longford end that:

• Non-permitted vessels, as per Article 6(8) of the Canal Act 1986 (Bye-Laws) 1988
• Non-attended and apparently abandoned vessels (Article 6(8))
• Doubled moored and causing obstruction (ie sunk) (Article 27 (3))
• Vessels deemed to be/likely to cause a hazard to navigation (Article 33(3))

may be removed from the Coolnahay and Richmond Harbour areas, east of the 45th Lock, within two weeks of this notice, posted Tuesday 3 April 2018.  

Removed vessels may then be subsequently disposed of in accordance with Article 34(2).  

Classes of vessels mentioned above will be stickered, given suitable access, and then removed from the waterway as operationally convenient in order to clear berths for visiting boats and the navigation for cruising vessels.
