Ulster Canal: Clones phase of cross-border project completed

The completion of the second phase of the Ulster Canal restoration in Clones, County Monaghan, has been officially marked by Ireland’s prime minister and deputy prime minister.

The canal is now restored between Clonfad and Clones and open for navigation and includes a major canal basin marina and amenity area in Clones.

It marks a major milestone for the landmark cross-border restoration project.

The project has been talked about in border communities for decades.

Taoiseach (Prime minister) Simon Harris acknowledged the work of many people to get the project to completion.

“It’s now 26 years since the Good Friday Agreement, and peace is about connecting people,” he said.

“This canal will be for all future generations to enjoy.

“This is another benefit of peace on the island, 25 years since Waterways Ireland and other north-south organisations.”
