  • To improve conditions on the Dublin Canals for the benefit of all users, including walkers, boaters and anglers.
  • To encourage greater usage of the River Liffey from the Eastlink to Islandbridge.
  • To attract new members to our ranks.

Green & Silver route

Tired of seeing the same stretches of our waterways?  Why not think about doing the "Green & Silver" route in 2012 - that's the circle or triangle formed by the Shannon, Grand Canal, Liffey, Royal Canal and Camlin river. More information here.

Dublin Branch of IWAI small-boat register

Dublin is blessed with three navigable waterways, the Grand Canal, the Royal Canal and the River Liffey.  All three are completely underutilised.  We appreciate that not everyone has a barge, cruiser or similar that is (1) suitable for the canals and (2) is convenient to Dublin.  To that end, Dublin branch organises a number of Small Boat Rallies on Dublin's waterways - by small boats, we mean tenders, RIBS, canoes, steam launches and similar.  We ask you to register your interest in joining us on one of these events by filling out our short web form.  We'll get back to you with information about any planned small boat events in the Dublin area.  Click on the icon at right for a sample of what we get up to:
