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

Mr. Barry Kenny:

It would be a bigger project, obviously, so therefore the design would need to allow for this. We are speaking before looking at a preliminary design or anything like it. It would not logically be something that would be inordinate to overcome. In doing a parallel alignment we would come across the same level crossings and the same bridges. The common issues are there. Potentially, and certainly with issues such as bridges, quite obviously if we develop with a mind to accommodate two modes and two services it would be more efficient than doing the two separately.
