Amharc ar fhreagraThe Walks Scheme was launched in 2008 for the development, enhancement and maintenance of National Waymarked Ways and priority walks. The Walks Scheme currently operates on 40 trails managed by 16 Local Development Companies around the country.
Due to funding constraints, it is not possible to provide financial support to the walk referred to in the Question at this time. No new participants have been added to the scheme in 2012. Any future expansion of the Walks Scheme will depend on the availability of additional funding.
