The Government has sanctioned €1m to help fund an extension of the Cork Harbour Greenway which could be in place within a year.

The Minister for Rural and Community Development, Michael Ring, made the announcement as part of an €11.4m nationwide allocation to 219 projects under the outdoor recreation infrastructure scheme.

Mountain bike trails in counties Offaly and Sligo, and two marked ways in Cork and Mayo are among those to benefit.
