Westmeath County Council have just published a Draft of there Bye-laws, Guess what Jetskis are banned from launching, look it up at www.westmeathcoco.ie. Have your say send in a submission.
DunLaoghaire rathdown have just published there Bye-laws , Guess what they have enacted for Jetskies??? yes more ristrictions.
Have you found that you can no longer use the waterways in your area?Have you found that you can no longer launch your PWC where you would like to?How you found that you are travelling greater distances to enjoy your sport?Have you found yourself breaking the law even when you were being responsible? If you have encountered any of these problems or other ones that I have not listed, the ISA needs to know about them.The ISA as the National Body for Boating in Ireland, it promotes responsible use of all water craft and believes that all Watersports enthusiasts have the right to enjoy their sport. The ISA fully supports the proactive management of beaches, harbours and lakeshore areas but we feel that the policy of banning PWC’s from any waterways is flawed. We feel that with appropriate ye-laws and an open management scheme a solution can be found to most water activity management problems which would result in safe and responsible participation for all Watersports enthusiasts.To promote safe and responsible PWC use to Local and National authorities we need you the PWC community on board with us. To date there has being 8 PWC clubs set up around the country and these have being successful in their areas. If you are not near a club or have a problem in your area please contact me at
