Makes CART's proposed license fee increase look like an absolute bargain.

Did you bother to read the article?

Its not about a license fee increase.

Yes I did, and I meant exactly what I said -- it's a (mooring) fee increase that makes CART's license fee increase -- which lots of people are complaining about -- look minute. Both increase the cost of living on a boat, regardless of what the fee is for...

Surely they are just bringing their mooring fees into line with CRT's. 

 

£4k a year is a typical fee around here.

They're certainly bringing them into line with what one might expect in central Dublin! And as Grand Canal Dock is about the only place to put long term moorings in the middle of Dublin (James Street Harbour was filled in years ago) such moorings locations are at a premium.

Doesn't sound an at all unreasonable charge for a city residential mooring with electricity, water and refuse disposal. How much would that cost in London? Or other European Capital cities?
