Can I Obtain the Information in Other Formats?
The information detailed in this Scheme is usually available on the Waterways Ireland website and in paper form.

How long will it take ?
An acknowledgement of a request will be issued within ten working days of receipt. (Working days means any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday, or a public / bank holiday observed by Waterways Ireland). A decision on a request for information will generally be issued not later than 20 working days from the date of receipt of the request. However, in the case of a request for a significant volume of information, a decision will be issued not later than 35 working days from the date the request was received. Where Waterways Ireland extends the period of time for a decision from 20 to 35 working days, the applicant will be informed of this not later than 20 working days after the date of receipt of the request.

Charges

Publication Scheme Charges
The individual classes of information indicate where a charge may be levied.
As it is intended that the majority of information contained in the Publication Scheme will be posted on our website, there will be no charge made by us, although you may have to pay any charges made by your Internet Service Provider, personal printing costs, etc. There may be certain publications that will only be available on receipt of payment. Where such charges apply, this is clearly identified against individual documents.
