Relating to Annacarty Village she said: “After visiting Annacarty and speaking with residents, I’ve asked the council to assess and design safe active travel measures for the community, the assessment will happen shortly, then it'll be down to funding”.

Elsewhere the N24 Bansha Road funding will “start works on a footpath on the other side of the Bansha Road, which would link the bridge and allow people to safely walk that loop. The District Engineer has presented a feasibility report to TII and we must wait and wait. I first raised this in 2022/23” she said.

Regarding Bansha village to Cluen: “After the success of the resurfaced walkway from Bansha to Bolands Cross, I was contacted to see if a similar scheme could be delivered from Bansha Village to Cluen. I've asked the council to assess this route,” Councillor Ryan said.
