Disappointing is how the Carlow Cycling Campaign have called Waterways Ireland’s response to their concerns.
The local group of cycle enthusiasts had written a letter to the body calling on it to reconsider the recent erection of ‘kissing gates’ at Graiguecullen Weir on the Barrow Track.
Members believe the new structure discourages cycling in all its forms.
