The final 3km section of the Limerick Greenway from Abbeyfeale to the Kerry Border at Kilmorna will open to the public tomorrow afternoon Friday 12th of November. The completion of this phase of the €10million 40km Limerick Greenway marks a key milestone in the project which had an official opening ceremony last Friday 5th November.

Cathaoirleach of Newcastle West Municipal District Cllr Liam Galvin said, “The completion of the Limerick Greenway from Abbeyfeale to the Kerry Border at Kilmorna marks an important milestone for this project and particularly for the town of Abbeyfeale. With nearly 250,000 users on the Limerick Greenway since it opened on the 1st July, it indicates the opportunity we now have on our doorstep. I want to acknowledge the very important contribution made by the councillors in the Newcastle West District to this project and thank the Council officials and everyone who has worked to make it a success.”

Kerry County Council is working to open the first section of the North Kerry Greenway in Summer 2022 which will connect Listowel with the Limerick Greenway at Kilmorna.
