For anyone who thinks I didn't put them back think again I put everything back and if I seen someone try take from the canal they'd be going in with the fish 🤣 was not Robertstown I haven't been there in a long time but had many good sessions there

Technically true, but they've been here since the middle-ages so we can at least give them "honorary" Irish status at this point 😉

Do 'The Honourable The Irish Society' still control access to waterways in ROI like they do in the North?

There's always people watching thats for sure and good because who wants to sit beside an empty canal

The IFI and - maybe - Waterways Ireland are the only agencies with statutory powers RE canals; well, aside from the Gardaí...

Who're this Irish Society you're on about...?

Then no. Those old budgets have no jurisdiction down here, and according to the Wikipedia article, only have rights on the Bann in N.I.
