Lough Key Forest Park
Local TD Frank Feighan has expressed his delight with the allocation of €300,000 towards the progression of the Lough Key Greenway to Carrick-on-Shannon.
Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) has issued the Greenways and national road funding allocations today to local authorities for 2024.
TII is responsible for securing the provision of a safe and efficient road network and provides annual funding allocations to local authorities for this purpose. TII has also recently been assigned responsibility for Greenways.
Roscommon County Council will receive a total of €72,720,412 which includes €63m for the Ballaghaderreen to Longford Bypass on the N5.
“Back in 2022 we received an allocation of €250,000 towards this project which has really great potential to connect North Roscommon with the county town in Leitrim and connecting into other tourism markets which will benefit both counties.
I have had communications with Minister Eamon Ryan, Roscommon County Council and TII pressing for the Lough Key to Carrick greenway, and I am so pleased to see this funding to continue the work and progress a project that I believe will provide great opportunities for tourism for the Boyle area,” stated Deputy Feighan.
