Dublin City Council apologises for any inconvenience caused to the public by this delay.”The opening of the long-awaited 2.1km long Phase 3 will add to a growing network of around 40km of segregated and low-traffic cycle routes in Dublin City. Cllr Feljin Jose (Green Party) said: “This greenway connects with the new Clontarf to City Centre scheme, the Liffey Cycle Route and the Grand Canal Greenway. The Royal Canal Greenway route is open between the River Shannon at Cloondara, west of Longford town, to Leixlip near the Kildare/Dublin county border.
