Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport
Active Travel and Greenways: Discussion
2:00 am
Nessa Cosgrove (Labour)
I apologise for missing the witnesses' opening statements and I thank them for their briefing documents. I live in Sligo. There is a big push for the different development stages of the Sligo, Leitrim, Northern Counties Railway Greenway. I am a cyclist and a member of Sligo Cycling Campaign. I am very much in favour of greenways not being left on their own and that there are part of active travel. They should go in front of schools rather than having them stuck out in the middle of nowhere. No one can deny that. I totally get the witnesses' concerns. Local farmers have raised an issue relating to land registration with me. If land is not registered in their names, they are concerned about compensation around that. Am I right about that? I would love to find out more about that. Is that something that can be overcome?
