What good is an invisible right of way?

THE Green Party, unfortunately, has failed in its attempts to have rights of way listed in county development plans (Irish Examiner, December 1).

With the halving in the numbers of walking tourists visiting this country in little over a decade, this was a welcome but tiny first attempt to get us into line with our European neighbours.

However, Mr Ó Cuiv is content to have nebulous ‘rights of way’ that are not shown on maps, not indicated by signposts and not even listed in county development plans.
