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

Mr. Barry Kenny:

We will take those in order. On the first point about the benefits of the licence arrangement, it comes down, as I said, to timescales. It would be foolhardy to start talking about licensing a greenway on the Athenry to Claremorris route because we know from the draft rail review that is a short-term project.
