Kildare TD hosting public information meeting on Blueway and Greenway in Robertstown next Monday at 7.30pm

Deputy Fiona O’ Loughlin Fianna Fáil TD for South Kildare will host a public information meeting in the Robertstown Holiday villages for Robertstown and Allenwood areas with Cllr Dara Fitzpatrick next Monday, 28 January at 7.30pm.

The aim of this information evening is to provide an update to the public about the Barrow Blueway and the Greenway. It is also an opportunity for the public to express their views on either project.

Deputy O’ Loughlin said, “My last information evening in Rathangan was a huge success and gave the public the opportunity to ask serious questions and raise any concerns they had. I decided to do another meeting in Robertstown for the people living in Robertsown, Allenwood and the surrounding areas."

“South Kildare and particularly areas along the canals that run through Kildare, will hopefully see increased tourism into the towns and villages from these projects. The Blueway will be a fantastic boost for tourism and will be a local amenity for Kildare following a final decision from An Bord Pleanála in the coming weeks," she said.

“There are tremendous benefits to the Blueway and the Greenway for the local economy and for reviving small towns in Kildare; we have seen the benefits in other counties such as Waterford and Mayo as they continue the process with their Greenways. Irish people are getting more active and this area will be an area for a multitude of people to enjoy in their spare time. All are welcome on the evening," concluded Deputy O'Loughlin.
