Landowners to be consulted on Galway to Moycullen greenway

Galway Bay fm newsroom – Landowners along the proposed Galway to Moycullen greenway route are to be consulted in September.
Galway County Council was awarded a grant of two million euro for the project earlier this year.
The 12 kilometre route will run through the NUIG campus through to Moycullen along the dismantled Connemara railway line, close to the banks of the Corrib.
Galway County Council will commence consultation with affected landowners from September.
A steering group of community members is also being developed.
The local authority will also prepare an Environmental Impact Study and a planning application which will be submitted to An Bord Pleanála.
This process is expected to take nine months.
If approved, the project will then go to public tender.
Construction is expected to take from 6 to 8 months and is not likely to commence for over a year.
