Minister confident of progress on walkways

MANY new countryside walkways will be in place next year, predicts Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Minister Éamon Ó Cuív.

Minister confident of progress on walkways

“I see progress on this issue being based on recognised walks such as waymarked ways or shorter walks, which would be promoted by Fáilte Ireland. The walks would be managed by local community groups,” Mr Ó Cuív said in the Dáil.

“Where it is not possible to reach agreement, in a particular location, alternative routes should be explored and developed so landowners’ rights over access to their lands are not interfered with. Many of these walks do not need a great amount of work, just signage and bits and pieces here and there.”
