"A new group, Friends of the Camac, has been established to protect and enhance the River Camac as it flows through the Clondalkin area. They would like an update on the plan that was formulated several years ago at my request to build a walkway/ cycleway along the Camac at the Watery Lane from the village (Clondalkin Park/ Community Centre) to the Canal Greenway at Woodford. Has any more progress been made on securing permeability funding for this project and can our new group do anything to assist in the process of securing funding?"

What plans are in place to address this long standing issue?"
