FANTASTIC NEWS FOR KERRY!! Green Light for the Greenway! The South Kerry Greenway has been given the go ahead by the Supreme Court!!https://twitter.com/BGriffinTD/status/1490991478830776320?s=20&t=aFn938K4TEdeoKQ0nnLifg Speaking to RTÉ, Mr Griffin said the Supreme Court's decision was "massively positive news for Kerry people, businesses and communities." He added that:
We have seen the success of greenway projects across Ireland, and the economic, social and tourism benefits they bring to local businesses, towns and villages. This project will breathe new life into communities along the route, and this is due, in large part, to the hard work, time and effort of many local people and groups.The proposed Greenway will run along a disused rail line, spanning 32 kilometres between Glenbeigh and Reenard on the Iveragh Peninsula. According to Kerry County Council the greenway will run parallel to the Ring of Kerry - "an iconic and internationally renowned tourist route popular with cyclists and with breath-taking scenery". A great result for walkers and cyclists of South Kerry and beyond.
