Description The Royal Canal - Ballymahon, Co. Longford, IrelandThe Royal Canal is situated about 2Km from Ballymahon town. Construction began on this canal in 1789 and was completed, stretching from Dublin to the Shannon, in 1818. The canal was a busy transport route, transporting goods and people across the country between the years 1818-1850. This canal was the only link between rural areas and the city of Dublin. The era of the canal came to an end with the advent of the railway, which was faster and cheaper to operate. The railways were built alongside the canal routes and soon nearly all goods and people traffic was being carried by railway. The Royal Canal closed to navigation in 1960,however, in 1974 a campaign was undertaken to restore the canal and it is hoped to have it operational by the year 2006.Brannigan Harbour, which is situated on the Canal, was the main stop for canal boats that deposited goods for the commercial life of Ballymahon . Today the local harbour has been enhanced and is now an idyllic picnic location. The old ticket office, which was the waiting room for passengers on the boat, is currently being restored. Eventually is it hoped to restore the full length of the canal from Dublin to the Shannon so that this generation and generations to come can enjoy the beauty and tranquility of the canal while discovering the enchanting midlands of Ireland by boat.
