Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport
Active Travel and Greenways: Discussion
2:00 am
Ms Lucy Fabby:
I am from Mayo. We have a greenway running along the R335 to Belclare. It runs along the roadside and was to be continued in 2021. Plans were made up and money was allocated to it and approved. The money disappeared. The greenway to Belclare was never finished. The next thing was in 2023, there was a new route going up the hill into a flood plain valley and onto the side of Croagh Patrick. Our situation now is that we are in limbo for another year. This is the third year. We found out by way of a local newspaper that, at a municipal meeting in Castlebar, the county council admitted the project could not be moved forward because it did not own one length of the land.
