Plans for the proposed Dundalk Bay to Carlingford Greenway are facing renewed opposition, with 87 per cent of submissions to the latest public consultation objecting to the project.
Louth County Council has published its preferred route corridor, but concerns remain over the impact on farmland, local homes, privacy and the future of rural communities.
Some residents also fear the use of compulsory purchase orders if landowners refuse to voluntarily provide land for the development.
Sinn Féin Councillor Antoin Watters says the proposals risk creating divisions between neighbours, warning that many landowners will be reluctant to give up their land for the development, and Councillor Watters joined us on The Agenda this morning discuss the latest plans, the strength of local opposition and whether the Greenway can move forward without further dividing the community.
