The NSMC also agreed Waterways Ireland should undertake the role of lead partner on this project with the support of the relevant Councils and other stakeholders along the route.<\/p>\n<p>The plan will bring disused sections of the canal towpath back into public use, creating a fantastic amenity for the people of the mid-Ulster region. The vision is that in addition to providing a quality sustainable transportation corridor and leisure facility for local people, the greenway network will attract visitors to this underdeveloped tourist region. This will ensure that tourism plays a bigger role in driving sustainable economic development in the region.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/monaghan.ie\/communitydevelopment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2017\/07\/Summer-Newsletter-July-3rd-2017-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read full Newsletter here (PDF)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ministers at the North South Ministerial Council (NSMC) agreed proposals in June 2015 to facilitate the development of a Greenway along the route\/linear corridor of the Ulster Canal from Castle [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_searchwp_excluded":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[18,20,19],"class_list":["post-591","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-archive","tag-monaghan","tag-news","tag-ulster-canal-greenway"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
