Celtic Interconnector-funded walking trail opens in Cork

Ger Clifford of Lisgoold Leamlara Tidy Towns, Ryan Howard of Secad, Declan Whelan of Lisgoold Leamlara Community Council, Michelle Walsh of EirGrid, and Rosaleen Ní Shúilleabháin and Fidelma McEvoy of Lisgoold Leamlara Tidy Towns at the opening of the first phase of the Leamlara Woods walking trail.

Two communities near the route of the €1.6bn Celtic Interconnector project have opened an early Christmas present — a new woodland walking trail developed with funding thanks to the massive engineering project.

The people of Lisgoold and Leamlara have marked the official opening of the first phase of the Leamlara Woods walking trail, which was established by Lisgoold Leamlara Community Council thanks to a slice of a special €2.4m community fund.
