A NEW GREENWAY has opened in Dublin which will offer never-before-seen views of Dublin Bay and Clontarf.
The Dublin Port Tolka Estuary Greenway is a new shared cycling and pedestrian route which joins EastPoint Business Park to the Ferry Terminals and runs along the perimeter of the northern port lands.
Developed by the Dublin Port Company, it forms part of the Dublin Coastal Trail which runs from Skerries in the north to Killiney in the south.
A collection of mature Pine, Willow and Sycamore trees are preserved along the newly opened route, alongside additional planting of over 200 large trees and over 5,000 smaller woodland trees and native wildflowers.
The new greenway also sought to preserve the port’s history, with seating along the greenway reusing granite from the Alexandra Basin which dates back to the 19th century.
Cyclists and pedestrians can access the Greenway at its EastPoint Business Park entrance, a short walk from the EastPoint stop on the N4 bus route.
The route can also be accessed from the Ferry Terminals via the Terminal 2 building operated by Stena Line, in close proximity to the Terminal 1 building operated by Irish Ferries and Isle of Man Ferries.
The second section of the Greenway, which will be completed in 2026, will bring the route to the most Eastern point of Dublin Port.
And to the west, the Greenway will link the Port to Athlone via the Royal Canal and Clontarf Greenways in Q2 2025, when works are completed on Phase 3 of the Royal Canal Greenway.
Launching the greenway today, Minister of State at the Department of Transport James Lawless noted that it offers a new view of Dublin Bay and a brand-new amenity for future generations to enjoy.
The chief executive of Dublin Port Barry O’Connell added that the greenway allows the public to “see Dublin Bay like never before”, while the head of Dublin at Fáilte Ireland Liz Halpin said it offers an exciting way for visitors to experience Dublin’s coastline.

Funny how TheJournal now only allows comments on the political and religious articles, just to stir up the bile and vitriol of those who live their lives here for the purpose of ranting all day long. And TheJournal actually wants people to pay for this ‘pleasure’. I dip in and out, but it’s becoming less and less impartial now, with a pure focus on stirring up anger
Good god, grasping at straws now. A Japanese style anime to reconnect with kids?
Must warn my kids not all cartoon characters are what they seem.
“Luce” also doubles as a collection box with coin slot on its head.
@wwvCLOuF: holes and the Catholic church don’t have the best reputation
I don’t think a depiction of a child wether Anime or not is a good suit for the Catholic Church considering their history.
@Trevor Hoyden: they do abuse a lot of women and children don’t they.
Surely the church already has enough fictitious characters?
That would be an ecumenical matter
Lucifer?
@INCE: Luce means light, Lucifer means light bearer.
@INCE: my first thought! And then I saw the fork and that confirmed it!
@Dermot Blaine: but in fairness, if you knew a Lucifer, you’d probably shorten it to Luce occasionally – and then that fork/staff….
@justme: You should check out their auditorium where the pope speaks from the mouth of the serpent.
Desperation
I can already tell the comments here will be full of vitriol and cynicism. Show a bit of decency. If it were any other religion God forbid anything negative was said.
@Sam Walsh: but it’s not any other religion who released these images it’s the Catholic Church. The article is about the Catholic Church for that reason. All religions are equally ridiculous, for what it’s worth.
The blue contacts don’t fool us, we all know it’s Rei Ayanami.
Makes you wonder just what the Catholic Church’s plans regarding Third Impact involve…
@Benny Colreavy: The Vatican are undefeatable now because Luce’s transformation multiplies power 50X. Our power level is 10,000. 50 X 10,000 would be 500,000. Even in her first form, Luce’s power level is 530,000, meaning we would be beaten by great margin even if Luce didn’t transform.
@Pól Pot: IT’S OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAND!!!!
False Super Saiyan.

WEIRD!
