MOTION NO. 82

MOTION: Councillor Eoin Ó Broin

Add 'Paddle Boarding' after 'Rowing' in NCBH 9 Objective 2 (Page 75).

REPORT:

 This motion seeks to insert additional wording into NCBH 9 Objective 2.

The motion proposes to change the wording from:

“To facilitate the appropriate development of the Grand Canal as a recreational route for walking, cycling, nature study and water-based activities including fishing, canal boating, rowing and canoeing/kayaking, subject to environmental safeguards and assessments”.

To: To facilitate the appropriate development of the Grand Canal as a recreational route for walking, cycling, nature study and water-based activities including fishing, canal boating, rowing, paddle boarding and canoeing/kayaking, subject to environmental safeguards and assessments”.

The spirit of the objective is broad ranging to encompass paddle boarding as a recreational amenity on the Grand Canal, however in this instance the motion is agreed.
