Greenways [greenway map of Ireland in post 1]

Likely going to be waiting for some time but interestingly enough the Council is purchasing the property at the southern end of the tunnel (https://www.independent.ie/county/cork/cork-county-council-buying-two-houses-on-kinsale-greenway-route-for-more-than-listed-value-of-1m/a/150643505.html) so the land acquisition is underway albeit slowly.

Ya I saw that earlier. Must have cost an awful lot of money. I wonder what the feedback has been locally on this? As you said land acquisition slowly and quietly maybe.

I was thinking about it during the week, and thinking about the small section that got done near Passage with little fanfare.

Would it make more sense if they approached the Kinsale greenway like so:

Do the city end first, connect Tramore Valley Park to Waterfall Village over the viaduct. This part of the city is growing a lot, a big young local population to support the greenway, the viaduct would be a tourist attraction.

The connect Kinsale to Belgooley second.

When people in between in Riverstick, Crossbarry, Ballinhassig saw the success of both parts they would be more amenable to extending the greenway into these areas. Rather than a bombastic greenway from day 1, do chunks first and open them up, might be more palatable for the locals
