Compulsory purchase orders may be needed for greenway

Kerry County Council will look at other options, including alternative routes, if progress on the proposed iconic cycle and pedestrian greenway along the old Cahersiveen to Glenbeigh railway is impeded.

A compulsory purchase order approach may also be considered, according to a council spokesman.

Last week, the council rejected calls for increased compensation for landowners from €15,000 an acre to €25,000.
