Campaign for a Walking and Cycling Greenway on the Closed Railway from Sligo to Athenry: Discussion
Ms Marie Casserly:
I will be brief. A couple of years ago my children and I went to Waterford to cycle the greenway. I had to go to the third bike hire shop early in the morning because the other two bike hire shops had no bikes left. I met more people from Sligo cycling the greenway in Waterford than anyone else. They were in the shops, the hotels and bed and breakfast accommodation. Can Members imagine if we had people from Waterford and from all over the country coming to Sligo to cycle the Sligo greenway, all the way, eventually, from Enniskillen to Claremorris?
