Galway Bay fm newsroom - There was a large turnout last night in Tuam for a special meeting to discuss the development of a greenway from Athenry to Milltown.
It follows a meeting in Athenry earlier this week, as part of a campaign to gather support for the Quiet Man Greenway.
It envisions a greenway of over 40km along the disused rail line that would link together Athenry, Tuam and Milltown.
Organisers say both meetings are the opening to a 'vigorous' campaign to gather support from businesses and public representatives.
Galway East Junior Minister Ciaran Cannon says it's a once in a lifetime chance to develop a crucial amenity for East Galway.
