Leixlip-Maynooth Greenway: Super news. Delighted that the contractor is starting prep work on the Greenway this week.💪
This is a process I’ve worked on & pushed for over a long time. A construction period of 18 months is planned to give us an amenity we can use all year round!

As a nation we have never recovered from the tragedy, death & genocide of the famine. The impact on our people, language, culture & society was unmeasurable & it still affects us today. As a country we need to recognise that in a full annual National Commemoration day.

Leixlip/Maynooth Greenway to be delayed a further 6 months to a year & will have to be re-tendered most likely at a higher cost. Very frustrating. A delay in signing the licence from Waterways Ireland means the process misses the already late Q1 2022 timeline.
