Tomorrow evening, our local councillors will vote on Sections C and D of the Cabinteely Greenway — a decision that could transform how we live, move, and connect in Brennanstown for generations to come.This is one of those rare moments when a single evening can shape the future of a neighbourhood.

The Cabinteely Greenway has the potential to become one of the most valued pieces of public infrastructure in South Dublin — a safe, green corridor linking communities, schools, and open spaces across the area.

For those of us living in Brennanstown, Sections C and D are particularly significant. They would bring the greenway right to our doorstep, offering residents a safe, traffic-free route for walking, cycling, and simply enjoying the outdoors — something our community has long deserved.

Why it matters

A greenway through our area isn’t just about leisure. It’s about safer routes for children getting to school, healthier options for everyday journeys, and a meaningful boost to the local environment. Projects like this don’t come around often, and once this opportunity passes, it may be years before we get another chance at something on this scale.

What you can do — tonight

Write a short email to your local councillors telling them you support the Cabinteely Greenway and asking them to vote Yes. All sections need to be approved or the whole project is in jeopardy, please ask councillors to vote yes on Sections A, B, C and D.

You don’t need to write an essay — a few genuine sentences from a local resident carry real weight.

Send it tonight or first thing tomorrow morning, before the vote takes place.

Let’s make sure our councillors know that Brennanstown is behind this.
