SUBSCRIBECouncillors have expressed concern that a greenway proposed between Charleville, Co. Cork, and Patrickswell, Co. Limerick, appears to be getting priority over the upgrade of the N/M20 between Cork and Limerick.
Members of the Kanturk/Mallow Municipal District Council expressed surprise when asked to approve the progression of the greenway in their area of control as they had heard nothing about it. They were told it will be developed by Limerick County Council and will be fully funded by Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII).
