Questions raised in the Dáil over lack of progress in Naas/Sallins Greenway

Local TD James Lawless has raised concerns over the delay in delivering the Sallins & Naas greenway in the Dáil today. In an exchange with the Taoiseach Enda Kenny TD the Naas based TD ask that the Taoiseach's office look directly at the matter to progress the project.

Deputy Lawless said; "We have all heard of the success of the Wild Atlantic Way but we must not forget about Ireland's Ancient East. The greenways are a project that are yet to advance. I was told very recently in correspondence that the Grand Canal section is not a priority.

"I would ask you, Taoiseach, that your office could invest some importance into this project, get the agencies to engage with each other and advance this project," stated Deputy Lawless.
