Louth Councillor Makes his Position Clear Regarding Proposed Coastal Greenway from Dundalk to Carlingford - 05/12/2025

We were joined on The Agenda this morning by Fianna Fail Councillor in Dundalk, Shane McGuinness, who wants to make his position “absolutely clear” regarding the proposed coastal Greenway from Dundalk to Carlingford. Councillor McGuinness says he fully supports the people of Cooley, and that he wants to see progress, investment, and a high quality coastal Greenway delivered for their community. But he also says that a greenway in his mind in Cooley is a coastal Greenway where tourists visit the county to view the beautiful coastal scenery that the Cooley Peninsula has and that what he can see from the route (which was released this week) is that 75% of it seems to be running along a main road nowhere near the coastline. He also says that he does not support any design that mixes cyclists or walkers with vehicles.Councillor McGuinness joined us in-studio this morning to talk to us some more about this.
