A group are applying to the just transition fund for finance.

A Westmeath group are applying to use money from the Just Transition fund to develop a greenway from Athlone to Clonmacnoise.

Their submission also includes a plan to create a light rail system on an existing track from Athlone to Shannonbridge in the future.
