The Corbally Canal, stretches eight kilometres from Naas to Corbally Harbour in Herbertstown beside the road to Athgarvan and Kilcullen. Unfortunately, in the 1950s the R445 was built across the canal with a culvert underneath to allow the water to flow. The canal is now impassible for boaters and walkers. The IWAI is campaigning for a bridge and removal of the culvert, so everyone has a public amenity to walk, cycle or navigate in safety, along this stretch of the Corbally Canal.

The people of Robertstown led by Fr PJ Murphy preserved the Grand Hotel as a canal museum and initiated an annual series of period banquets and canal festivals around the hotel and two barges. This gallery pays tribute to all involved. We thank Miriam Malone for the use of these images.
