€300k funding for Athenry to Milltown Greenway

Funding of €300 thousand has been allocated towards the design of a greenway between Athenry and Milltown. 

Known as 'The Quiet Man Greenway', the 47km route would connect Athenry with Ballyglunin, Tuam and onwards to Milltown along the dis-used rail line.

The latest funding has been announced as part of a national package worth €50m for road and active travel projects. 

Deputy Ciaran Cannon says the greenway is a hugely important project for the local area.
