Greenway in Doubt as Middle Route Drops

The Cork to Kinsale Greenway project’s latest report has sparked fury among landowners who say it ignores their concerns—despite 2,000 submissions and hundreds attending meetings. The plan now splits into two sections, skipping the middle stretch entirely, with no explanation for why. Critics question if it’s even a “greenway” without a continuous path, and wonder how a route along the N71 was even considered given its unsuitability. Older studies from 2012 reportedly warned against the current route, which could involve compulsory purchases, and more than half of respondents said the greenway wouldn’t benefit locals—or even be used by them. The project team now faces pressure to meet affected landowners one-on-one as uncertainty mounts over the project’s future. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
