The road referred to is a 900m stretch of canal bank owned by Waterways Ireland. The proposers of the Local Improvement Scheme do not own the property and therefore have no right to have such a scheme carried out on Waterways Ireland's property. This is a rural section of canal and is suitable for normal recreation activities such as walking and fishing.
