Development Of SLNCR Greenway Continues

Progress on the development of the Sligo, Leitrim, Northern Counties Railway (SLNCR) Greenway is continuing to make significant progress.

This project will see a high-quality greenway from Sligo town to Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh, passing through Collooney, Ballintogher, Dromahair, Manorhamilton, Glenfarne, Blacklion, Belcoo and Letterbreen on the way. The cross-border greenway will attract domestic and international visitors to come, explore and stay in the region. The surrounding areas contain attractive scenery and an opportunity for users to interact with nature whilst benefitting from outdoor activity.


Leitrim County Council, in partnership with Sligo County Council, Cavan County Council, Fermanagh & Omagh District Council, Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) and Department for Infrastructure (DfI) are developing the SLNCR Greenway.

Arup have been appointed by Leitrim County Council to provide multi-disciplinary engineering and other specialist consultancy services.

The Project is currently at Phase 1 Concept and Feasibility. The purpose of Phase 1 is to develop and investigate in further detail the feasibility of the Project, to identify a suitable study area for the examination of preliminary route options and to implement the project management structure.

Public Consultation on the study area and constraints is planned from Monday 16 January to Friday 10 February 2023.
