PICTURES: Concerns raised over condition of Barrow track as it has become 'overgrown'
What do you think?
Concerns have been raised over the condition of the Barrow track in Carlow as it has become "overgrown" in places.
One local has contacted Carlow Live and said: "The pathway is not safe anymore; it has become too overgrown.
"I don't feel as safe near the edge of the bank, it's too hard to see where the bank ends.
They added: "The few things we have during this lockdown, I don't think it's to much to ask to have the bank of the river clean and safe for local residents within their 2km radius.
"I wouldn't like to have a young family going up and down the line, it is not safe for bikes or prams."
Carlow Live understands that some of the affected areas include Borris, Bagenalstown and Carlow.
In a statement, Waterways Ireland said: "Waterways Ireland is currently operating under government guidelines – see link: www.waterwaysireland.org/news-centre/news/320/covid-19-update-24-april-2020.
"Waterways Ireland staff are continuing to undertake essential management of water levels, and any emergency works that may arise, under strict social distancing protocols.
"Other tasks are not being undertaken at present in line with Government Guidelines. While we sincerely wish the public were able to enjoy the walks and trails on our navigations, the current restrictions prevent most from freely availing of them.
"Once government restrictions are eased we will get back to our regular maintenance activities, in the meantime stay at home and be safe."
