Funding for link to popular amenity welcomed

Fianna Fail Cllr Eddie Fitzpatrick has welcomed the announcement of part funding for a new footpath from Garryhinch Cross to the walking amenity in Garryhinch Woodlands.

This is a project first highlighted by the Local Active Retirement group some years ago and now has been taken on by the Garryhinch Development group who have greatly enhanced the area since coming together over three years ago.

Cllr Fitzpatrick says he is delighted to announce that €26,138 euro has been approved for this project after many years of making representation to Offaly County Council.

"The first phase of the footpath will commence shortly and I will continue to provide my support for further funding until this project is completed," concluded Cllr Fitzpatrick.
