    Nope. It was an open-deck boat with what looked like half a mobile home thrown on top, but was never used as a liveaboard.

    That pier is owned / funded by a local club, don't think they'd take too kindly to a liveaboard there (and again, no facilities).... but I could be wrong.

    TBH, you wouldn't want to live there. Creepy as fcuk at night and I think some anti-social behavior.

    Frankly liveaboards and use of waterways probably work better in countries where people follow the rules or else actually face heavy consequences.

    Lough Corrib got infested with Zebra mussels because some P**** couldn't be arsed cleaning off his boat properly.

    The lake is also infested with a non-native invasive weed Lagarosiphon Major.

    Add to that the outbreak of Cryptosporidium and general pollution of the lake presumably due to the poor sewage treatment and poor or non-existent inspections of farming around the lake shoreline.

    If energy wasn't much of a problem you could get a reverse osmosis system for your water needs.
