Proposed development

Application description published by Monaghan County Council.
Permission to develop a greenway from Monaghan Town’s Coolshannagh roundabout (N2 junction with N12) to Ardgonnell Bridge, located on the border with Northern Ireland near the N12. The proposed greenway measures 7.3 kms in length and affects mainly rural land in both public and private ownership. It follows the route of the Ulster Canal as it proceeds alongside the N12 national primary road to Middletown, County Armagh. The proposed stretch of Greenway within Monaghan Town connects to the existing greenway near Coolshannagh roundabout and passes along the rear of Monaghan Institute on the N12 Armagh Road.The proposed greenway from Monaghan Town to the border passes through the following Townlands: An Tulaigh Thirim (Tullyhirm); Cnoc an Chonnaidh (Knockaconny); Droim Ruatach Drumrutagh); Droim Achaidh Chruitin (Drumacruttan); An Chorr Bheag (Corbeg); Cruail (Crowey); Sceith na gCeann (Skinnagin); Táite an Teampaill (Templetate); Tulaigh Loiscthe (Tullylish); Táite Mhuileann an Ūcaire (Tuckmilltate); Coill Uí Néill (Killyneill); Coillidh Liaf (Killeef) and Tamlacht (Tamlat). The proposed Greenway will consist of the following 5m corridor incorporating a pathway up to 3m wide with a drainage/buffer verge up to 1m on each side. The pathway will consist of an unbound, granular surface course of gravel and dust, with asphalt in certain locations such as road crossing points, stock proof timber fencing (1.2m tall) at each side of the greenway where appropriate, as well as chicane railings at road crossing points, four pedestrian timber footbridges for connectivity across the canal and watercourses, underpass guardrails at the following bridges: Drumratagh Bridge; Crowey Bridge; Glebe Bridge and Pipers Bridge, information boards at the termination point in Monaghan Town, together with way-marking and advanced warning signage for users along the route where appropriate, and all necessary associated site works such as route clearance, tree felling where unavoidable, drainage improvements, road junction improvements for pedestrians (dropped kerbs, tactile paving), site levelling/re-grading works and cut and fill earthworks.
