>She said the vast investment required for the greenway should be spent first repairing and maintaining roads in the area.
Absolute chefs kiss on NIMBY mindset. I couldn’t have written it better myself.
Roads over anything else.
NIMBYs gotta NIMBY, god they wouldn’t know what to do with themselves if they didn’t have new stuff to protest against.
Why do NIMBYs always go on about the supposed “lack of consultation”?
Aside from the fact have there been 3 public information events about the project; do we really believe that if the protesters had all received 1 to 1 sessions with the council beforehand they wouldn’t be out there complaining?
>A woman who lived in constant fear when she lived in an earthquake zone in the US says plans to route a major Cork greenway through her family’s land have triggered the same deep-rooted anxiety.
I’m actually howling. What an intro.
“I have two young daughters and this greenway could be 100m from our back garden, and I would have security concerns around that,” he said.
Wait till he finds out that there is a road ever closer to his house!
“A woman who lived in constant fear when she lived in an earthquake zone in the US says plans to route a major Cork greenway through her family’s land have triggered the same deep-rooted anxiety.”
A multi generational infrastructure project to be shelved because of someones irrational fears, gtfo.
The problem with all these consultation processes is that people think because they have an opinion it’s the only correct one, very few can be objective and look at the bigger picture.
First they came on their holidays , and I said nothing, because it was not in my back yard.
Then they came with their moving trucks and increased house prices, and I said nothing, because my back yard became very valuable and it also was not in my back yard.
Now they come on their bikes, and I must speak out, for this cannot happen in my back yard… not in my back yard
People cycling past on their bicylces 100 metres away from your gafff are not going to cause an Earthquake love, fuck off back to america with that nonsense
I remember someone mentioning that people can counter-protest? Effectively indicating support for the project (and hopefully calling out BS for what it is).
Just goes to show people will protest about anything
It’s a shame that this is attracting so much opposition, it would be a fantastic amenity. It would use the [Chetwynd Viaduct](https://www.buildingsofireland.ie/buildings-search/building/20908603/chetwynd-viaduct-chetwynd-cork) and Goggins Hill Tunnel, as well as providing a useful active travel link for Belgooly (~6km) and Riverstick(~10km) into Kinsale.
It’s also planned to link up to a larger network of greenways along the old Cork, Bandon and South Coast railways, with separate proejects being advanced around [Skibbereen](https://wcgskibbereen.ie), [Bandon](https://www.wcgbandon.ie), and we’re awaiting a plan for Clon to Skibb.
Is Ireland capable of building or improving anything without people bitching and moaning, is it any wonder that there is a housing shortage.
> I lived on a fault-line in California, and the anxiety of that is equivalent to the anxiety we’re feeling over this greenway plan
… so … speaking as someone who actually grew up in an earthquake zone and was near the epicenter of two major quakes as a child … no anxiety at all?
What a pathetic NIMBY. Clearly too fragile to live. How dare she try to bring California into this.
> The preferred route runs through her father-in-law’s dairy farm, and over a site where she and her husband have lodged a planning application for a home.
Ah, there we have it. She wants to build where the greenway is meant to go and is trying to find any excuse at all.
Imagine bringing your kids out to protest against something that would benefit them tremendously…
“The preferred route runs through her father-in-law’s dairy farm, and over a site where she and her husband have lodged a planning application for a home.”
There’s the crux of it.
Cries about lack of consultation and splitting the family farm she married into…. Really they’re worried about their planning app.
Ironically, that’s probably the way to make it work for everyone.
If their application for one off housing was knocked back due to lack of nearby public transport /infrastructure, then you could easily see them do a 180 and say we’re planning on building a house and need the Greenway.
These greenways are essential for the recreational use of our countryside and for active transport. Rural roads are just too dangerous for the use of cyclists and pedestrians.
They may need to go full Arthur Dent on this one..
Surprising number of protestors in the photo tbh. I’ve just moved nearby and the Bandon proposal seemed fairly well supported.
