A chara, – Would Minister for Transport Leo Varadkar now look at the opening up of the Dublin and Wicklow mountains ranges to allow off-road cycling tourism?

Allowing cyclists to use the Wicklow way and Dublin Mountain Way paths would increase tourism and encourage families to visit and explore this areas These extensive mountain ranges offer some of the most beautiful scenery in Ireland and are close to all tourist arrival points.

Walkers and horse riders have been enjoying these views for years so it’s time to let cyclists from Ireland and abroad do the same.

It only takes a visit to Enniskerry village on a Sunday to see the value that cyclists bring to an area. – Yours, etc,
