An active travel route is proposed near the Red Cow as part of the Cycle South Dublin programme. The route would run from Greenhills Road to the Red Cow, mainly through the open green areas beside the M50.

This would allow people travelling from Tallaght to follow the planned BusConnects corridor along Greenhills Road and then continue to the Red Cow via this new link.

The project is known as the “M50 Greenway” within the Cycle South Dublin programme. However, it is scheduled for a later phase, and work on it has not yet started.
