Another Right of way question

The Cuban

I`m considering buying a plot of ex-development land (nama land).
The land is between a housing estate and the town.
The land registry map shows the land goes all the way to the edge of the road.
At the road edge of land, about 5 meters into the plot the residences of the housing estate have walked along there and have formed a rough footpath that joins onto the council footpath at the end of the land.
If I purchase the plot am I legally entitled to block off access, and reform the boundary up-to the edge of the road?
Can i force the council to put in a proper footpath and entrance for me?
Can I put in a concrete footpath and entrance myself?
Basically I would like to know my options here.

Uno my Uno.

These are all questions for your solicitor, only they can answer them. If you are serious about the purchase you'll have instructed one.

The Cuban, that is a clear example of asking for legal advice. Legal advice is not allowed by the forum charter.
