Committee on Public Petitions

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

Mr. Barry Kenny:

We would engage with the Department of Transport in the context of the public policy as it stands today. In other areas, as I have detailed, we engage on projects with the local authority. The planning process and all of this is something the local authority is responsible for. It takes responsibility for the management of the alignment, of the delivery and of the ongoing maintenance. All of this would simply transfer with the break clause that is included.
