Two years ago at an event in Clones it was announced the next phase of the project would begin.

This will include the restoration of a one kilometre section of the canal between Clones and Clonfad and the construction of a new marina close to the Canal Stores on the Cavan road.

A Spokesperson for Waterways Ireland told Northern Sound News that planning on the project is ongoing.

It also says a tender has been awarded for the drilling of investigatory wells as part of the study.

It's not yet known when construction work on the second phase of regeneration will begin.
