MINISTER JAMES BROWNE and CLLR LISA McDONALD at Kilmore Quay.

“I am delighted with this morning’s announcement that €500,000 in government funding has been allocated to Kilmore Quay,” said Cllr. McDonald, who added; “This significant investment will develop cycle path along the canal and complete a looped walking trail along with a footbridge and carpark.

This has the potential to be a fantastic amenity that people from near and far will be able to enjoy for years to come.”

“It is also great to see €200,000 allocated for the Our Lady’s Island to Carne Trail, which will extend it by 600 metres,” concluded Cllr. McDonald.
