The Irish Farmers Association has highlighted objections and concerns of farmers over the proposed Sligo/Leitrim Greenway.
The IFA is requesting a re-assessment of the proposals with the objective of using State-owned or State-controlled lands for the Greenway project as the vast majority of the lands on the proposed routes are in private farmer ownership, according to IFA Chairpersons in Sligo and Leitrim.
The proposed project is to provide a Greenway from Sligo town to Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh, passing through Collooney, Ballintogher, Dromahair, Manorhamilton, Glenfarne, Blackloin, Belcoo and Letterbreen on the way.
Farmers and landowners are encouraged to outline their views about the Greenway in a submission with details on the website slncr-greenway.com
