We'll be staying in Westport. Is it possible to rent a bike in Westport early morning, start in Newport for the Greenway and carry on cycling around Achill Island to bring it back that evening? Or is there a bus going from Westport to Achill? Thanks...

The Greenway is well worth doing. Goes presently from Newport to Mulranny. Cycling around Achill can take some time - variety of possible routes. There are buses each way but would have to check on the time.
