Views and ideas from the public on a proposed recreational trail between the Corbally Canal and the Liffey Corridor, including Kilcullen, are being sought by Kildare County Council, writes Brian Byrne. A public consultation event as part of a feasibility study is being held in Naas on Wednesday 2 April to facilitate this.

The event in Naas Library & Cultural Centre will include an exhibition aimed at enabling understanding of the scope of the project and the options being considered. It will run from 4pm to 7pm.

The Corbally Canal is between the Newbridge Road, Naas and Corbally Harbour north of Kilcullen and extends approximately 8km. The River Liffey between Newbridge, Athgarvan and Kilcullen extends approximately 10km. Kildare County Council aims to develop and connect these areas via new recreational trails, where feasible.

The study is being prepared by JBA Consulting Ltd and the project is supported by the Department of Rural and Community Development’s Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme (ORIS). Waterways Ireland are a key project partner.
