Hi All
I attended at the Dublin Bay Futures event last Saturday in Dun Laoghaire and find your project very interesting. Would you eventually consider organising a walk along the bay?
Best Regards

Taoiseach, Minister,
Thank you for your efforts in support of the s2s project. I think it will in the future be a very valuable contribution to quality of life in Dublin and an example to the entire country, if your attention remains on it. I think it will have many spinoff benefits for individuals and communities and maybe even politicians.
Kind Regards,
Gerry Kelly

From David McCabe to the Taoiseach and Minister for the Environment 15th Nov 2006
My thanks to you Taoiseach and minister Roche for giving your public support to the Sandycove to Sutton project around Dublin Bay. The northsiders have their lovely linear park from Fairview to Sutton whilst us southsiders have only 500 metres at Sandymount.!!
So push it ahead as a 2007 Election project and use the rubble from Lansdowne Road demolition as infill at Sandymount. Well done and thanks to all involved.

From Nick Koumarianos 15th November 2006
Dear Taoiseach and Minister Roche,
I was very encouraged and grateful to read of your support for the s2s cycle and walking track project in Mondays papers.
Dublin Bay is a fantastic amenity and this clever idea will maximise the use of it’s shoreline for a relatively modest investment.
I have witnessed the success of similar projects in other cities and know that s2s will add substantially to the enjoyment of the Capital by both residents and visitors.
With best wishes,
Nick Koumarianos

Dear Minister,
I am very pleased that the government has agreed to support the cycling route around Dublin Bay. It is a very exciting venture and should be a great environmentally-friendly amenity for the people of Dublin and beyond.
Well done,
Eric Conroy,
Hon. Treasurer, An Taisce (and ardent cyclist!)
Irish Heart Foundation Welcomes Initiative
The Slí na Sláinte campaign, run by the Irish Heart Foundation, has expressed strong support for the campaign. In a letter to S2S dated 8th August 2002, chairman Paddy Murphy describes the proposal as an innovative and simple idea that would compliment and enhance their plans for public walkway facilities in Dublin.
The campaign is aimed at improving public health by encouraging people to take more exercise by walking regularly. To see the full text of the letter click here
Support from Sustrans
the internationally recognised organisation promoting sustainable transport solutions has strongly endorsed the S2S proposal. In a letter to the campaign dated 8th May 2003, they state: “We very much hope that this stunning coastal promenade and associated landscaping will provide a section of the long distance cross border cycle route and a section of the all Ireland Cycle Network. It is likely that it will be the most used cycle route in all of Ireland”. To see the full text of the letter click here.
DLRCC Development Plan 2004-2010
Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council have just published for public comment their Draft Development Plan 2004-2010 and they have included a coastal walk and cycleway from Booterstown to Sandycove, with the intention to continue it south along the coast to the County boundary at Bray.
This is indeed very good news and we congratulate DLRCC on their decision. Read the detailed extract from the Draft Development Plan here. You will find the full draft development plan on the Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council website here.
It would be very good for the campaign if the Council were to be made aware of the widespread support that exists for the coastal promenade and cycleway. People who wish to express their support for the proposal are encouraged to do so by either writing or e-mailing the Council at devplan@dlrcoco.ie. The standard form for making a written submission can be found at the Council’s website here. Note: Submissions to the Council must be submitted before July 1st 2003.
