The Greenway
One entrance to the greenway is just off the Tim Kennelly roundabout.
In Cahirdown the walking and cycle paths are generously wide.
The cycling section ends at St. Michael’s.
The entrance to Páirc Mhic Shithigh is at the junction with Ballygologue Road so it was not possible to extend the widened path that far.
