OFFERING a link with the River Walk and Drumgeely would be “a big thing” for one of the oldest areas of Shannon.

Provision of a link footpath “to join up with the recent enhanced River Walk adjacent to the Airport Rd and near the Drumgeely apartments” was sought by Cllr Gerry Flynn (IND).

He stated, “this very important facility is a well established facility in Shannon Town and just needs small additional work to improve access for the public”.

Commitment to carry out an assessment to identify what works and funding will be required was echoed by senior executive engineer in the Shannon Municipal District, Tom Mellett.

“We have a fabulous footpath at the back of Fr Harry’s house in Drumgeely and we’re looking for a section at the end linking the two. It is something to have a look at, they are the small things to make it more workable,” Cllr Flynn commented.

Agreement was voiced by Cllr Donna McGettigan (SF) when seconding the proposal, “it is a small thing but it is a big thing for that area”.
