“It is an objective of Dublin City Council: …To achieve the following critical linkages within the lifetime of the development plan…”
“To provide a continuous cycleway connecting the Phoenix Park and Heuston Station to the proposed S2S route along the city’s quays in consultation with the Office of Public Works”
