Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport
Active Travel and Greenways: Discussion
2:00 am
Ms Cleona O'Shea:
We are not anti-greenway. We are against the process of delivery. The way councils and TII approach CPO is way too heavy-handed. There is a lack of consultation and the veiled threat of CPO is constant. It is supposed to be a very last resort but it is what comes first. When we go to public consultation, those involved explain what they are going to do, and if we say we do not want it on our land, the next thing we are told is that there can be CPO. This is constant and it is not good enough. As I said, Iarnród Éireann can say "No", so why can I not say "No"?
