It would be nice if we had any measurements, but the only figeurs are Waterways Ireland's accounts, which show that users pay a tiny proportion of the costs of running the waterways. In the context of the Ulster Canal, though, the question is whether the marginal benefit of a canal to Clones, added to the existing hundreds of miles of waterways, exceeds the marginal cost of its construction. Such studies as have been done suggest that it does not. bjg
