p32 LRO39: IWAI Kildare welcome the use of former commercial bogs as not just a way of lowering carbon emissions from this island, but also as a way to provide healthy recreation for our citizens. It is yet another way to encourage locals and visitors biking, boating and walking to explore the Kildare countryside and its attractions.
p32 LRO4: This area is not directly in Kildare IWAI’s typical ‘territory’; however, as it is connected to the Barrow Line, we are keen to encourage this endeavour.
p33, LRO50: IWAI Kildare is pleased to see this statement.
p33, LRO51 (a) Naas to Corbally Harbours and (b) Corbally Harbour to Newbridge.
IWAI Kildare welcome the extending of the Grand Canal Greenway to Corbally Harbour, and extending this recreational facility to the people of Newbridge, Kilcullen and Athgarvan.
p33, LRO52: The extension to Corbally Harbour with moorings, slipways, cafe and a service block, will create an ideal tourist destination for those navigating Kildare Canals and encourage people to stay awhile and explore the amenities available to visitors in Kildare. It will also encourage local people to set up small businesses hiring kayaks and canoes, providing barge trips and refreshments.
p36, LRA11: We commend Kildare County Council’s wish to regenerate old routes on water and land for recreation use; this is yet another way to encourage locals and visitors biking, boating and walking to explore the Kildare countryside and its attractions.
We welcome the extension of the Grand Canal Greenway to Corbally Harbour and also the extension of this recreational facility to the people of Newbridge, Kilcullen and Athgarvan.
