Strong interest in public consultation on Galway to Athlone Greenway Published: Tuesday, 23 February 2021 08:48
At a recent public meeting online to discuss the route options being considered for the next phase of the Galway to Athlone Greenway, hosted by Minister Anne Rabbitte, the capacity limit of 100 was reached.
Representatives from Galway County Council, RPS Design Consultants and the IFA made presentations, with the IFA voicing the concerns of farmers and landowners along the route and how it may impact on them. The presentations were followed by a questions and answers session.
Minister Rabbitte said, “At a time when public meetings in local halls can’t happen, it was great to see the capacity limit maxed out on Zoom, with even more people queueing to get access to the meeting. It’s indicative of the appetite for such a project to become reality in the years ahead.
