Leo Varadkar has objected to the routing of the Royal Canal Greenway through his constituency that would close down a park where he used to play as a child.
The Fine Gael Taoiseach made his objection to Fingal County Council in July 2021 on official headed paper showing his title at the time, Tanaiste and Enterprise Minister. The chosen route of the massive Greenway, that will eventually connect Dublin and Galway, passes through Mr Varadkar’s constituency on the northern bank of the canal by Castleknock.
The Taoiseach is supporting some of his constituents on this issue and is calling for it to be built on the south bank instead, which would take it away from the back gardens of his old neighbours.
