Good news! It has just been announced that the remaining section of Greenway from Mogeely to Youghal in East Cork will open to the public on Thursday 19th December 2024.
The 8km section from Midleton to Mogeely opened in March of 2024 and with this new section opening, the total distance will be in the region of 22kms.
Local councillors got the following notice... "The current plan is to open the Mogeely to Youghal (Tides Car Park) section of the Greenway to the public on the 19th of December 2024. Work on the trail head at Youghal will continue into 2025. The official opening of the Greenway will be arranged for early 2025 and councillors will be kept updated on this."
As you can see, there's still a bit of work to do at the Youghal end but essentially, nearly all of the Greenway will open.
It will be no doubt be very popular with people walking, running and cycling over the Christmas period.
I've been writing about the Midleton to Youghal Greenway since 2016... https://corkrunning.blogspot.com/2016/11/iarnrod-eireann-propose-abandoning-old.html
It's been a long journey but it looks as if we're finally there.

Any plans to link Midleton to Carrigtwohill by greenway, Youghal to Cork City would be a great run
