    not open yet, it is being worked on from both ends so it now extends a few miles from killala. after you leave beleek you can turn right and cylce along the ''old french road'' if you keep going straight this will bring you into killala and i assume at some point you can access the killala end of the green way.

    even if you cant yet its a nice quite road that runs parallel to the main killala rd

    I cycled along the old French road a few weeks ago hoping to meet up with the Killala end after a few miles. The road itself is quiet and safe enough but it's very hilly so maybe not suitable for young children yet.

    I didn't meet up with the Killala end until I was within a couple of miles of the town. That end is quite nice with a couple of small lakes and an old railway bridge. You have to cross the main road before reaching the end of the track in Killala.

    They seem to have stopped work on the Ballina end once you leave Belleek. Hope they get to finish it soon, the views along the way are fantastic.

    I was hoping to stick to a greenway rather than a (main!) road, I'm a nervous cyclist!

    issues with getting access over lands, they have been talking about an option of putting some of it on the road, but from what i gather they would rather avoid that so are still trying to negotiate,..the killala stretch that is done already is off road, think about 4k but im open to correction on that.
    edit .. yes if you follow the old road you will eventually meet the end of the bit that is already done, not far from moyne, kind of between moyne and rosserk
