    HERITAGE PLAN 2016-2020 PHOTO: Eoghan Lynch BANKS OF A CANAL by Seamus Heaney Say ‘canal’ and there’s that final vowel Towing silence with it, slowing time To a walking pace, a path, a whitewashed gleam Of dwellings at the skyline. World stands still. The stunted concrete mocks the classical. Water says, ‘My place here is in dream, In quiet good standing. Like a sleeping stream, Come rain or sullen shine I’m peaceable.’ Stretched to the horizon, placid ploughland, The sky not truly bright or overcast: I know that clay, the damp and dirt of it, The coolth along the bank, the grassy zest Of verges, the path not narrow but still straight Where soul could mind itself or stray beyond.

    Catherine Murphy, T.D. Dáil Éireann Kildare Street Dublin 2 - D02 A272 9th July 2020 Dear Deputy I am writing to you concerning the matter you raised in Parliamentary Question No. 935 on 3 June last to the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, which has been referred to the National Transport Authority (NTA) for reply. Royal Canal Greenway The Royal Canal Greenway is a key element of the Dublin - Galway National Cycle Route, running through Dublin City, Fingal County and Kildare County Council areas. Within the Greater Dublin Area, the scheme is being developed by those local authorities in collaboration with, and funded by, the NTA. The alignment of the scheme parallels the Canal, swapping between the northern and southern sides so as to minimise impacts to the receiving environment. Construction of Phase 2 (between Sherriff Street Upper and North Strand Road - a distance of 0.72 km) began last year and is due for completion shortly. This section includes a new bridge, ramps, underpass and linear park. Phase 3 (between North Strand Road and Phibsborough Road) is currently at detailed design and will progress to construction in 2021. Phase 4 (between Ashtown and Cross Gunns Bridge) is also at detailed design and sections will progress to construction later this year. Consideration is being given to options for the development of the section between Castleknock and the border of Fingal / Kildare and the outcome of that work is expected to progress to planning later this year. Page 1 of 3 The remaining section, which extends from the Fingal / Kildare boundary to Maynooth has Part 8 planning approval.
