455. Deputy Roderic O'Gorman asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the reason there has been a near two year delay in the installation of a water tap promised by Waterways Ireland (details supplied); if he will provide a timeline for the installation of the tap; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerWaterways Ireland is a North South Implementation Body established under the British Irish Agreement of 10 April 1998. It is funded by my Department and the Department for Infrastructure in Northern Ireland.
The detailed information requested in relation to the installation of a water tap at the 12th Lock on the Royal Canal is not held in my Department. However, arrangements have been put in place by all bodies under the aegis of my Department to facilitate the provision of information directly to members of the Oireachtas. This provides a speedy, efficient and cost-effective system to address queries directly to the relevant bodies. The contact email address for Waterways Ireland is oireachtas@waterwaysireland.org
