Addressing this week's meeting of the Municipal District, Councillor Alastair McKinstry said there's been barely a single metre of new cycleway in the West in recent years.
He argued the Connemara Greenway is being progressed at a snail's pace - while a proposed route between Barna and Salthill is going even slower.

He highlighted the urgent need for a range of infrastructure including cycle lanes, improved bus shelters, and lockable bicycle stops.
Councillor McKinstry argues it's about supporting new modes of commuting for a sustainable future.
