NO to Ammendment 98

To whom it may concern,

I am writing to:

Say NO to Ammendment 98

Say NO to inclusion of wording in the County Development Plan to allow a Barrow BLUEWAY

RE: Ammendment 98

1. REMOVE additional text "and in collaboration with adjoining local authorities and stakeholders as appropriate" from (Amendment No. 98) Section 11.6 Greenways and Blueways (page 272) of the County Development Plan.

2. Section 11.6 Greenways and Blueways (page 272) and Amendment 98 should be changed and/or omitted, because inclusion will green light a new BLUEWAY plan for the River Barrow when Waterway's Ireland Barrow Blueway Proposal was already refused by the local Authority and An Bord Pleanála, and because inclusion of a Barrow BLUEWAY in the 2022-28 Plan will be against the public submission (individuals and groups) to the CDP consultations and the Aarhus Convention which gives the right of public participation in environmental decision-making, and the right to review procedures to challenge public decisions that have been made without respecting the rights of the Aarhus convention or environmental law in general ("access to justice").

Yours sincerely,

Sinéad Cormack
