Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport
Active Travel and Greenways: Discussion
2:00 am
Ms Geraldine O'Sullivan:
I might just come in. The issue is that there needs to be a review of CPOs on the greenways because it seems to be the default position. Rather than going through the proper steps in the guide and the code and having the engagement, it seems to be the default which is stopping proper meaningful engagement with communities. A good point was made; we were discussing it before we came in here. The farmers involved are not the public; they are directly involved in the process. The default seems to be if we do not get agreement, we are going straight to the CPO. CPOs on greenways and those kinds of projects need to be reviewed and considered by the committee.
