RPS to lead the delivery of the Inistioge to South East Greenway Link from our new Kilkenny office

We are delighted to have been appointed as lead consultant for the delivery of the Inistioge to South East Greenway Link. The project consists of a new greenway between the Woodstock Estate in Inistioge, Co. Kilkenny and New Ross, Co. Wexford, where it will join the wider South East Greenway.

The project aims to develop a sustainable tourism experience for visitors to the area, as well as creating a recreational and leisure amenity for locals to enjoy, increasing connectivity between the two towns and promoting sustainable methods of transport. It is anticipated to be 16-20km in length and will run along the scenic River Nore Valley in South Kilkenny.

This appointment also coincides with the recent opening of our new office in Purcellsinch Business Park, Kilkenny, where our project team for the greenway will be based.

Speaking at the project launch, Willie Madden, RPS Managing Director in the Republic of Ireland, said: “We are delighted to work with Kilkenny County Council and TII in delivering this strategic piece of greenway infrastructure for the South East. Opening a new office in Kilkenny enables us to offer a high quality service to Kilkenny County Council and our other clients throughout the South East region, as well as attract new talent to join our team.”

Cathaoirleach of Kilkenny County Council, Cllr. Michael Doyle, expressed his delight that this project was progressing into the next phase, noting that it would be transformative for the tourist offering of not just Woodstock and Inistioge but the whole of Kilkenny and the wider South East region.

 
The Cathaoirleach added that the realisation of this project would really add scale to the impressive recreational infrastructure currently being delivered under the South East Greenway and thanked TII for their support for both projects, before wishing us well and welcoming the establishment of our new base in Kilkenny.

Frank Stafford, Senior Engineer for Kilkenny County Council, also welcomed our appointment on the project and wished us the very best of luck with our newly established office in Kilkenny City.
