Waterways Ireland withdraw planning application for Barrow Towpath

Waterways Ireland have withdrawn their application for planning permission for the Barrow Towpath.

Thats according to local councillor Arthur McDonald who says its been withdrawn until a public meeting has been held with locals about their plans.

They intend to build a cycle-path along the already existing walkway on the Barrow from Rathangan in Kildare through Goresbridge and onto St Mullins.

Speaking to KCLR News, Councillor McDonald says people have a number of issues with Waterways Ireland’s plans that have yet to be addressed.
