He told a Naas Municipal district committee meeting that a desire line (an unofficial walking route) has developed since the bridge to the school was constructed.

However, KCC has indicated that there is no finding immediately available for this. It was also pointed out that  “there may also be land acquisition and significant retaining structures required to progress such a scheme.”

Cllr Clear replied land should be acquired from Waterways Ireland to make way for the work.
