Save Anthonys House Boat

Hi, I am raising money to help my friend get his house boat back after Waterways Ireland wrongfully took it from the canal, after the same Waterways Ireland officials told him to take his time getting his permit and congratulated him on building a great houseboat. Anthony built this amazing house boat with his own hands during lock down. The housing crisis in Ireland inspired this talented young man to make a home for himself. Anthony has a very good job with Kildare County Council. Anthony is educated with D.I.T. Ireland and has also worked with his hands his whole life. Instead of asking for handouts, Anthony researched alternative living and educated himself on how to build a safe and environmentally friendly houseboat. Not only does this houseboat meet all the Canal sizing guidelines of Ireland, it also is aesthetically pleasing and adds to the surroundings. This house boat followed the designs of European Houseboats (that can be seen in Dutch Canals for decades) and Waterways Ireland are now calling it "a shed on barrels". Anthony is now in a situation where he has to pay an extortionate release fee to get his property back and he will also have to pay to transport and store his home until he can legally fight to get his house boat back where it belongs, in the Canal. I decided to set up this go fund me to help my friend get his property back before Waterways destroys it. Any money that is left over will be donated to a homeless charity.
