Cruising The River Shannon, Ireland 1981
Cruises on the Shannon are popular but greater number of visitors are needed to develop tourism in the region.
For many years, the tourist board has been attempting to attract more visitors to the region along the River Shannon. Waterways like this in any other country would be busy with boats but not the River Shannon.
The Shannon flows quietly on through locks and tributaries to the sea.

It costs just 17 pence to take a boat through swing bridges and canal locks, a price that has not changed for many years. The lock keeper believes that 17 pence might be a potential attraction to tourists but is a ridiculous sum of money to swing a bridge for. He believes that people...

Stories from the Waterways - The Spirit of the Shannon
Delighted to premier the first of the 2022 Stories from the Waterways film series, an initiative of the Waterways Ireland Heritage Plan. This year we focus on how our shared inland waterways inspire individuals and groups. In this film we join Christy Cunniffe as he explains how early religions, spirituality and folklore were inspired by the Shannon. To this day we are calmed by being around water. Many thanks to Robbie Bayly of the Heritage Boat Association and OPW Clonmacnoise for their assistance.

A cruise on the Shannon River with Le Boat is one of the most unique ways to explore Ireland taking you through the heart of the country and its long history. When you choose an Irish River cruise, you have the chance to self-drive along Ireland’s ancient highway to historic ruins and famous castles. Each town along the River Shannon welcomes bargers with open arms and ice-cold pints of Guinness as talented musicians entertain the crowd with lively traditional music.

Cruises on the Shannon are popular but greater number of visitors are needed to develop tourism in the region.
For many years, the tourist board has been attempting to attract more visitors to the region along the River Shannon. Waterways like this in any other country would be busy with boats but not the River Shannon.
The Shannon flows quietly on through locks and tributaries to the sea.
While numbers cruising along the River Shannon increased slightly last year, many companies are struggling to survive.
It costs just 17 pence to take a boat through swing bridges and canal locks, a price that has not changed for many years. The lock keeper believes that 17 pence might be a potential attraction to tourists but is a ridiculous sum of money to swing a bridge for. He believes that people would not object to paying a pound considering the facilities that are provided to travel along the unpolluted water.
Aisling a ballad group from Wicklow provide musical entertainment on board a cabin cruiser.
This was one in a series of reports examining tourism in the River Shannon region.
An RTÉ News report broadcast on 16 April 1981. The reporter is Peter McNiff.
