The Inland Waterways Association of Ireland (IWAI; Irish: Cumann Uiscebhealaigh Intíre na hÉireann) is a registered charity and a limited company in the Republic of Ireland. IWAI (NI) is a wholly owned subsidiary of IWAI, therefore IWAI operates across the island of Ireland. It was founded in 1954 to campaign for the conservation and development of the inland waterways and their preservation as working navigations. As of 2024, the Association has approximately 2,000 members which are organised in twenty four branches (7 in Northern Ireland, 16 in the Republic and 1 activity-based branch).[1]
IWAI also has two Special Interest Groups aiming to make the waterways safer to navigate - "Charts Sig[2]" - and free from obstruction "Nav-Watch" [3]
