    Royal Canal News January 1975 No.2

    No.2. JANUARY, Royal Canal News 1975 RESTORATION - THE WAY AHEAD The past year was a momentous one for the Royal Canal and the developments that took place rose directly from the public meeting held in Maynooth at the end of 1973. There is every reason to be thankful to the organizers of that meeting for bringing together, at what has since transpired was a crucial time in the canal’s history, representatives of so many interested bodies. The events of 1974 are recorded in this and the September newsletter, but what of the future? Voluntary participation in .restoration work is increasing and will undoubtedly continue to do so, and further assistance from C.I.E. is almost certainly assured. What is needed most urgently, though, is the commitment of the Government to the eventual restoration of the whole of the canal. Restoration of the 53 miles from Dublin to Mullingar is implied in the decision of the Minister for Local Government regarding Mc Nead's Bridge, but the remaining 37 miles form the vital link to the Shannon. The first 17 miles of the latter section from Mullingar, via Ballinea, Shandonagh, Coolnahay and Ballynacargy to Abbeyshrule have, until now, remained free from obstructions to possible future navigation. It is imperative that this situation be maintained and that Westmeath County Council be persuaded to think again about their plans to culvert the canal at Shandonagh and Ballinea bridges. Unfortunately, the final 20 miles from Abbeyshrule to Cloondara have suffered at the hands of Longford County Council but the position is nowhere near as bad as would appear at first sight.
