The Corbally Herbertstown Branch, stretches eight kilometres from Naas to Corbally Harbour, with no locks. Unfortunately, in the 1950s a culvert was built making the line impassable. The IWAI is campaigning to remove the culvert to create a safe community amenity for boats, walkers and cyclists.

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.
