Grand Canal of Ireland
The Grand Canal begins on the Southside of Dublin, Ireland. It continues on to the River Shannon with various branches, including a link to the River Barrow waterway at Athy. Until 1950 the Grand Canal Company had ownership of the canal the Transport Act, 1950 tranferred the canal to Córas Iompair Éireann. This situation continued until the Canals Act, 1986 transferred the canal to the Office of Public Works.
