Kildare canal jetty should be brought back to use

A local politician wants a jetty on the Grand Canal in Naas to be put into use again.

Cllr Seamie Moore told a Naas Municipal District meeting that Waterways Ireland should undertake a survey of the jetty, located at the old gas works, with a view to preserving and upgrading it.

He said it is “a piece of the industrial heritage of the canal area in Naas.”

The jetty was associated with the off-loading of coal from canal boats.
