WITH route options now under consideration for the Scariff to Limerick Greenway, members of the public are being encouraged to make their views known at a series of consultation clinics

Five consultation sessions are being run between April 26 and May 5 at which local communities, landowners and other stakeholders can make submissions on, and inform themselves about, the Shannon Greenway cycle

This follows the completion of a feasibility and constraints report by a working group which includes representatives from Waterways Ireland, Clare County Council and Limerick City and County Council.

According to Clare Fine Gael TD Joe Carey, it is essential that stakeholders make their views known at this stage of the process.

“The success of this project will depend on the level of public engagement to take account of local knowledge and preferences. It is essential that the Greenway is regarded as a community asset as much as a significant visitor attraction.”

“I would strongly encourage local people to attend a series of public consultation events which will be held in Scariff, Killaloe, Ogonnelloe, Clonlara and Castletroy over the coming weeks.

Dates and locations for the consultation sessions are: April 26: Waterways Ireland Office Scariff; April 27:

Killaloe Spa Hotel; April 28: Ogonnelloe Community Centre; May 4: Clonlara Community Centre; May 5: Kilmurry Lodge Hotel, Castletroy.

All sessions are scheduled to begin at 5pm and end at 8pm.
