A number of councillors queried about a potential path at the recent Clane-Maynooth MD meeting.
Kildare County Council has stated that a footpath out to the Prosperous United grounds from the centre of the village is not a possibility.
At the recent Clane-Maynooth MD meeting, Cllrs. Aidan Farrelly and Brendan Weld called on the Council to identify any engineering solutions to support safe cycling and pedestrian permeability to the grounds.
In its response, the Council said "there is not sufficient verge space along the public road to provide a footpath. There would need to be land acquired from the adjoining landowners. The length of footpath required is around 600 metres and would cost in the region of €300,000 plus accommodation works to affected landowners."
There is also a water course to be crossed which is not costed in the above estimate.
Kildare County Council concluded that "there is no funding available in 2023 to progress this project."
