    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.

    Royal Canal Greenway - Maynooth to Dublin County Boundary

    The Tailor's Hall, Back Lane, Dublin 8. E: [email protected] M: +353-87-2840799 A/Senior Executive Officer, Kildare County Council, Roads Transportation & Public Safety, Áras Chill Dara, Devoy Park, Naas, Co. Kildare. Wednesday, 17 February 2016 Royal Canal Greenway - Maynooth to Dublin County Boundary Dear Sir/Madam On behalf of Dublin Cycling Campaign (www.dublincycling.ie) and Cyclist.ie – the Irish Cycling Advocacy Network (www.cyclist.ie), the member for Ireland of the European Cyclists’ Federation (www.ecf.com), I would like to express strong support for the proposed Royal Canal Greenway from Maynooth to Dublin County Boundary. This project has the potential to create a great amenity to link with the existing and emerging developments of the Royal Canal greenways to the west and east of this proposal. It traverses a wonderful landscape and can help to revitalise this route in a new guise, and hopefully encourage an increase in visitor numbers to the area. Crucially, it will allow people of all ages to cycle safely and conveniently between Kilcock, Maynooth and Leixlip and therefore it has the potential to offer a real alternative to the car leading to improved public health and reduced congestion and pollution. 1. Introduction We warmly welcomes the construction of high quality cycle routes by Local Authorities, where their impact on the built and natural environment has been thoroughly assessed and where they have been designed, constructed and then subsequently maintained in a manner sensitive to those environmental considerations. In line with the aims of the National Cycle Policy Framework (http://www.smartertravel.ie/content/national-cycle-policy), the proposed cycle greenway should help prompt an increase in cycling and walking.

  • The Grand Canal

    The Grand Canal

    ENVIROKIDS WORKSHOPS OUR CANAL SYSTEMS Our Canal systems – Ireland once had a canal network of 25 canals and combining the rivers that connected these canals, nearly every part of Ireland could be reached. Today in Ireland we have 7active canals and 18 that are not in use. Canals were built to transport goods in bulk from one part of the country to another. The construction of the first canal started in 1731 in co Tyrone in the north of Ireland. In this part of Co Tyrone there was a huge coal mine called Coalisland, so to transport coal to Dublin by using the road system, a horse and cart could only carry 1 ton but the same horse could pull a Barge full of coal weighing 70 tonnes. The Newry canal was finished in 1742 and was 18 miles long, and with 14 loughs climbing through a mountain, this was a huge engineering task for the time. This new canal proved to be a huge success and opened the door for the construction of more canals throughout the country. In this issue we will take a look at 2 canals in particular, the Grand and the Royal canal and their construction, that changed Ireland and helped one company to expand. We will also look at the canals today and what has happened to some of them, we will look at the Lough systems, and why canals are so important to our wildlife and the people that use them. 1 B Barge A Working Barge Horse drawn Barge The Grand Canal After the success of the Newry canal system the Irish government were looking to link Dublin with the River Shannon to open what is called a trade route.
