Welcome to the IWAI (Inland Waterways Association of Ireland) Royal Canal Branch.
We represent boaters, canal users and enthusiasts on the Royal Canal. Our members are strung out along the canal from it’s junction with the Shannon at Richmond Harbour to the Kildare border. From Kildare to Spencer Dock, where the canal joins the Liffey, the canal is represented very ably by the IWAI Kildare and Dublin branches.
