Waterways Ireland informs me that the stretch of canal referred to by the Deputy, which includes the area known as the 'Deep Sinking', is in relatively good condition for walkers. The stretch between Clonsilla to Kennan Bridge was upgraded with new stone surfacing about five years ago. A short stretch of towpath at Kirkpatrick Bridge, Coolmine, is currently being improved, but it is not proposed to extend these works at present.
