## Resource

Derroura trail in Connemara is under threat as Coillte plans to downgrade it from a mountain biking hotspot to a walking-only path—sparking outrage from local TD Seán Kyne. He argues the trail’s low usage isn’t due to lack of demand, but years of neglect and frequent closures. Kyne demands accountability over past funding and insists proper investment could revive Derroura as a premier regional destination—not just for bikers, but for all outdoor enthusiasts. The call? Halt the reclassification and prioritize maintenance to keep this beloved trail thriving. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
