Some are almost permanent inhabitants, others occasional guests; but everyone falls under its spell, determined to return and savour once more its undeniable mystique. Foreword to “By Shannon Shores” - Ruth Delany, 1987 1.1 Background 1.1.1 In 2001, the Heritage Council commissioned a Pilot Waterways Corridor Study (Pilot Study) to examine opportunities for regeneration within a framework of conservation along a stretch of the Lower Shannon taking in the Grand Canal. The context for this study was to recognise, and seek ways to realise, the potential of the waterways as a heritage, amenity and tourism resource. 1.1.2 Following the successful completion of the Pilot Study, the Heritage Council, in partnership with Waterways Ireland and Longford, Roscommon, Westmeath, Galway and Offaly County Councils, has now commissioned two further waterways Fishing south of the bridge at Shannonbridge studies taking in the mid-Shannon from Shannonbridge to Lanesborough (also Lanesboro and Béal Átha Liag) and part of the upper Shannon from Lanesborough to Roosky including the Royal Canal. Colin Buchanan and Partners, in association with co-consultants John Cronin, Fred Hamond and Dr Amanda Browne have been awarded the study area comprising Shannonbridge to Lanesborough including Lough Ree in its entirety and a further sub- study taking in the River Suck from the Shannon to Ballinasloe and the line of the old Ballinasloe navigation (formerly part of the Grand Canal, but disused since 1961).
