It has sought permission from Kildare County Council
Waterways Ireland has today sought the consent of Kildare County Council for a five-year programme of maintenance works along the Barrow Navigation at townlands throughout the county.
The proposed works will consist of essential maintenance and repair of the navigation assets and will include dredging, back-drain maintenance, and towpath and bank repairs.
The maintenance works which are being proposed by Waterways Ireland will seek to improve the assets along the Barrow Navigation, which is a nationally important recreation and navigation corridor.
The Barrow navigation features many bridges, locks and buildings that are protected structures and/or national monuments.
These necessary maintenance works will seek to protect these structures as well as the natural, cultural and amenity potential of the corridor.
The Barrow Navigation goes through the following areas: Athy, Ardreigh (pr: Ard-ree), Levitstown, Maganey (pr: ma-gay-nee) Lower, Newtownpilsworth, Jerusalem, Grangemellon and Coneyboro.
Following validation, the planning documents will be publicly available on Kildare County Council’s planning portal.
