How many vehicles does Waterways Ireland operate? I don’t know, so I’m hoping readers will help me to find out. Please take photos of any WI vehicles you see, send the pics to me with a note of where and when they were taken, give me permission to publish the pics on this page and we’ll build up a collection showing WI’s entire fleet. I mean, if it’s done for Eddie Stobart, then why not for Waterways Ireland? The vehicles may not be as big as these, but size isn’t everything.
WI vehicles on the Shannon–Erne Waterway
To start things off, here are some pics of WI vehicles along the Shannon–Erne Waterway.
Van at Riversdale
I think this is the van of a WI mechanic, who was down fettling the Inspector’s SEW launch Eonish. Here is another photo of the van, showing WI’s waste collection permit number.

Grass-cutting team’s van at Ballyconnell …
… with annoying notice on the side
When I hear the word “fun” I reach for my shotgun.
Or I might, if I had one.
