There can be no justification for ripping up the railway and replacing it with a bicycle track. I am supportive of greenways but it must be pointed out that there are enough alternative routes to build a greenway/bicycle track between Collooney and Charlestown without interfering with the existing rail infrastructure, the Mayor of Sligo, Cllr Declan Bree, said, when he addressed members of the Western Inter-County Railway Committee at a Mayoral Reception in Sligo City Hall.
