VIDEO: Kerry Greenway would cause 'serious repercussions' to farmer

Seamus Walsh will have his land split into three sections should the Kerry Greenway be built. The farmer already has his land divided by the main Ring of Kerry road.

They should never have closed the railway and let that farmer purchase those strips of land from the state in the first place! Disgraceful stupidity by our elders and predecessors

It is good news that the Youghal Midleton Greenway has got the go ahead and good to see the Caherciveen proposal making headway. It is good to see some of these redundant railway facilities being reused for the benefit the communities. I think that the old lines should be further used as tourist attractions for those who do not cycle or walk. That is use them as tracks for rubber tired tourist trains. In this case tourist could take a little train sightseeing trip from Caherciveen to Glenbeigh or vice versa. It is scenic and the most westerly railway histories in Europe. This would not prevent walker or cyclists using the facility but would help to get more out of the facility. We built a tourist train (antique steam look) for use in Cork City and looking for further operating opportunities for this type of tourist/visitor business.

The council will have to dig an under pass under the Greenway for this farmer ...who is in the path of progress ...for the indigenous it was the Iron horse and now this..!..not so green and in intrusive after all.
