Reports related to the Ulster Canal:
A range of reports are found

incl.
2006: Waterways Ireland have released the Feasibility/Socio Economic
study that they were working on in relation to the Ulster Canal. They
were asked by the two ministers late last year to revise the costs and
so-on for restoring the two ends of the canal and to produce a
socio-economic report on same.
All the documents are on the Dept. of Community Rural and Gaeltacht
Affairs web-site on the North South Co-operation pages.
