Campaign for a Walking and Cycling Greenway on the Closed Railway from Sligo to Athenry: Discussion

Ms Bernice Brennan:

It is being used as a tourist attraction but local people do not use it much and it is only seasonal. It is not open all year round. It is only open during the summer. That is for leisure, tourism, whatever. I said that while it is an interesting idea it is not something that locals use much and it is not something that can be used all year round. People have to pay for it so people like me who have children, or even people coming on holidays are looking for something that is free to do with their children. They might try it out once but people are not going to use it every weekend. The Velorail is there now but has blocked-----
