    Royal Canal

The Green And Silver Project
Green and Silver
• To encourage people to make the Circular
  journey, Dublin Branch commissioned a
  certificate and plaque to be awarded to vessels
  completing the route.
• We’ve taken the liberty of naming the route the
  Green & Silver route
• A total of 29 boats completed the journey in
  2011 with another 20 or so en-route, some just
  setting out on a multi-year voyage, others
  planning an early assault on the route in 2012.
Working with local Communities

• Over 200 events across Ireland each year
• National Volunteering Week May 2012
  Waterways Clean up focus
Phizzfest
In conclusion
• Waterways are not just linear parks
• Part of the community
• Provide enjoyment to different user groups
• Source of local employment and stimulate
  investment
• Attractions for visitors both on and off the
  water
• Need commitment and ownership from the
  community

Editor's Notes

  1. And we like to think that we had a lot to do with convincing the two governments to move ahead and start restoring the Ulster Canal. You’ll have seen the stuff in the media about that over the last while. [click]
  2. The First users in Dublin and on the Shannon were of course the Vikings
  3. Which opened just about long enough for less than a dozen boats to pass through and then fell into deriliction
  4. We run events on and off the water like boat rallies but also quite a lot of training and educational events as well. While our main focus is on waterways as navigations we do try to represent everyone who is enthusiastic about our inland waterways. So we would have people who own [click]
  5. And culminating in public protests outside the Mansion House in Dublin.[click]
  6. To no boats at all. Because a lot of our members simply enjoy getting out and walking along the rivers and canals enjoying the wildlife, the scenery, the historic monuments and so on. [click]
  7. People who sell and service and maintain the boats private boats, [click]
  8. various visitor attractions and so on. If the problems with low water levels were to increase significantly, or even if people believe that that is the case, an economic sector that is already under pressure could really suffer. Because we are largely talking about discretionary spending here and with the downturn in the economy people are making cut-backs. [click]
  9. pubs, restaurants, shops, [click]
  10. We throw a pretty good party as well. This was the fleet that gathered in Dublin in 2004 to celebrate the 50 th Anniversary of the IWAI. Over 70 boats took part in the Rally
