Heritage outside the box

Monday 20 October 2014 11:45

I was not entirely complimentary about Waterways Ireland’s online survey on the contribution of boating to the economy. However, its latest online survey seemed to me to be better designed.

It’s part of a consultation seeking opinions about a Heritage & Biodiversity Plan. I was afraid that the survey might limit the scope of responses to a small number of prepackaged options, but in fact I found it easy to make suggestions that might be outside the range of those expected. The response boxes expand as required, although I didn’t test the upper limits.

I encourage readers to complete it.

  1. Thanks Brian. An excellent opportunity to vent my spleen about my favourite canal “restoration” proposal.
