I am delighted to confirm investment of €2.6 million in the Connemara Greenway. This funding will extend the Greenway between Clifden and Oughterard and comes from the Government’s national fund for Greenways, overseen by Minister Shane Ross. @galwaygreenway pic.twitter.com/It0BDGxedJ

Farmers Journal Feature
Great piece in the Farmers Journal by ex Irish Times journalist Lorna Siggins on the Connemara Greenway which is very encouraging. It points out that, thanks to a more enlightened approach by the council, landowners are becoming very supportive. Mentions that negotiations for the City to Moycullen part of the greenway are taking place.
Bike Buffet 2018 Pictures
Cycling between food stops is an ideal bike ride, which is exactly what’s happened to participants of Galway’s 2018 Bike Buffet.
It took place on Saturday June 16 at 3pm in John Keoghs Gastropub, finishing in Father Burke Park at 6pm.
The menu included a starter in John Keoghs, then a cycle to a secret location for an alfresco main course from Dela Restaurant.
Dessert by Kai Restaurant was in the westend and an outdoor movie screening ended the day at Father Burke Park.
