When the news emerged this week that two legal challenges have been brought to the High Court in relation to the South Kerry Greenway, there were mixed reactions and emotions.
For a local representative, his was “disappointment and sadness” for those that had “big plans” as a result of An Bord Pleanála’s November decision to approve the controversial project, a 32km greenway stretching from Cahersiveen to Glenbeigh.
The greenway project was first proposed in 2011 and after failing to reach agreement with landowners, the local authority decided to acquire 115ac of land by compulsory purchase order (CPO). An Bord Pleanála confirmed the CPO with some modifications.
