The Dublin branch of the Inland Waterways Association of Ireland represents those concerned with the protection and utilisation of our waterways within Dublin City and County.  We take a direct interest in what happens on:

Our Objectives are:

  • 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.

Our Branch activities
are supported by:

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 has organised a number of Small Boat Rallies on the Dublin 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.
