That Meath County Council addresses the current problem that Meath River Rescue has in relation to slipways on the Boyne. On the Ramparts, the situation is very serious and is reaching the point that it is dangerous to launch a boat there. The heavy volume of water during the winter battered the launch site and now with the low level of the water it is extremely dangerous to launch a boat. The slipway is disappearing. Currently it is necessary to reverse the boat down the slipway that is deteriorating. I request that Meath County Council look to building a proper slipway, that is secure and not a health and safety issue, which is now the case.
