Planning permission has been granted to upgrade a key cycling and pedestrian route for Passage West, which the council has said will improve the health of residents and boost tourism in the area.

Cork County Council applied to An Coimisiún Pleanála last November for permission for the 2km of upgrades which it said would boost the usage of the paths starting at the Cork city/county boundary and stretching into Passage West.
