QUESTION NO.7

QUESTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

To ask the Chief Executive if he will engage with Waterways Ireland to examine the feasibility of extending the Grand Canal Green Route?

REPLY:

Waterways Ireland  have met with the Economic Development Section about this development possibility, but it is only at an early 'concept' stage as yet.  It is listed as a suggested route in the Greater Dublin Area Cycle Strategy, and Waterways Ireland are in favour of its development, however there is no planning or funding as yet to take further forward.  National Transport Authority should also form part of any discussion in relation to this project as they have been advancing other routes identified in the Strategy document.
