25 Years of IWAI Online – a Look-back Through the Archives

The Inland Waterways Association of Ireland has been online since 1999. We celebrate with a look-back through the archives.

From our archives - IWAI Canal bye laws campaign postcard - 2014

Our objections to the canal bye-laws being sought by Waterways Ireland trace their routes back to 2008. We look back on our previous canal bye-law campaigns under past presidents upto 2016.

The following pages hold some great content but are over 10 years old;  they are on our “to-do” list to re-vamp and bring upto date.

Back in the day before social media, Facebook, Flickr and all the rest, our image gallery was very popular, capturing memories of rallies, waterway scenes and our members experiences cruising the Irish waterways.

A fascinating collection of digital memories, from portraits of our founding members through to historical AGM reports and rally entries.

View some rare videos which have been saved for posterity on our IWAI Video Archives Youtube channel, including the Heard Collection and The Royal Canal opening in 2010.
