The new pedestrian lights in Derrinturn have been turned on, which completes this massive road safety project in the vicinity of the school and the village. Our local council Roads and Sustainable Transport teams have overseen this project from start to finish in an excellent manner.
The design was informed by a Village Healthcheck project for Derrinturn which was initiated several years ago using Local Property Tax, and funded by a Government NTA grant.
I had the pleasure of showing Minister Martin Heydon the project on a recent visit to the area and thanked him for his continuous efforts seeking Government funding for projects like this in West Kildare.
