>But it is a bit of un petit déjeuner d'un chien, isn't it? That's my impression so far. But Waterways Ireland is not interested in the views of individual boaters (or other citizens). The Gay & Lesbian Equality Network, Shannon Town Council (Shannon Town is not on the navigation) and RNIB are amongst those being formally consulted and asked to respond in writing; after all their views have been considered, and the fix is in, hoi polloi will be invited to mass meetings but won't be invited to send in written submissions. >(e.g.in Ireland, all cruising craft stayed in overnight will be >considered "residential" under the proposed bylaws) And Waterways Ireland can drag you out of your bed in the middle of the night. I'll be putting together a set of criticisms for the "Rants" section on my website. I'll be glad of comments from anyone who has time to wade through WI's proposals. bjg
