Galway Bay fm newsroom – Transport Minister Paschal Donohue has decided to ‘pause’ plans for a greenway through East Galway.
The decision to shelve plans for the Galway section of the greenway follows the presentation of a report last week by the National Roads Authority.
The report revealed that the majority of landowners in Galway were opposed to the route as it would split land and farms.
The Government will now proceed with completing a 43 kilometre section of the greenway between Maynooth and Kildare.
This section of the route already has planning permission.
Galway East T.D Paul Connaughton says that it’s important to the farmers that their concerns were heard.
