‘Greenways in need of more joined-up thinking’

A leading greenway promoter has called for more joined-up thinking as plans progress for several such walking and cycling trails around the country.

Liam O’Mahony, chairman of the Great Southern Trail, which runs along a disused railway line from Rathkeale, Co Limerick, to the Kerry/Limerick border, said taxpayer money should be “used wisely” in such developments.

According to Kerry County Council, a lack of funding could delay the completion of the Great Southern Trail on a disused rail line from the Limerick border to Listowel and Tralee.
