    The link opens for me on Willow park just by the gael scoil in douglas? Is that the right spot?

    (I pass it alot so I am just trying to picture where the gate is!)

    That's the spot, there's a walkway for ~1k that runs by the side of the link road and the gate in the pic I posted is at the far end of it.

    Found it.

    Walkway looks unpleasant surrounded by prison grade fencing and appears well dodgy esp. as darkness starts to fall.

    Local teens use it for drinking 'al fresco' ...

    They’ve spent €40 million on it so far!?! This is a far bigger scandal than the Events Centre

    Was a lot of that capping the landfill, site civil works etc.?
    At least with Tramore park we have something, it's just not open

    For sure it's going to open officially eventually, even with the current situation people can head in there anytime the recycling centre is open.

    ...in that case, you probably don't want to read up about the Bottlehill landfill...

    I'd forgotten about that! But to be fair it was Cork County Council who've blown €48 million there :)

    Going by this article in the Examiner today, I fear you could be spot on :(
    The full opening of a massive public park on the site of Cork’s former city dump is at least a year down the line, following confirmation it could cost at least €6m to provide “full and safe access” to the site.

    €6m bill to make Tramore Valley Park safe for public

    This is infuriating.Its going to cost another €6m but they’re unsure what for yet.They have to be the most dopiest incompetent Council in the World.

    The events centre or lack there of is a small issue in relation to this.

    Latest I've heard on this is an opening date of mid-May. Hopefully it will happen this time.

    There's certainly a lot of activity going on around the entrance of the recycling centre.

    Rob Heffernan deserves to have the walk (and much more) named after him. Great athlete. That's not in question.
    But, I thought there was a system in place to decide on the naming of publicly-owned pieces of infrastructure? We saw it recently with the naming of the new bridge on Merchants Quay. Names nominated needed to be dead for 10-years, council shortlisted names submitted by the public, etc.
    As I said, the man more than deserves the accolade but if there is a system, shouldn't the council stick to it?

    Snuck in for a look through the hole in the fence earlier on (not the only one in there either!). Still a lot of work going near the entrance but markers are all down for the 5k loop.

    Officially opened today, two days before the local elections. We should have elections every 6 months - everything would get done. Anyone take a look yet?
