I attended the Scór na nÓg quiz Kildare Final in Allenwood GFC last weekend, which brought back memories. Well done to the winners representing Maynooth GAA, who performed brilliantly as a team in the new competition format. Hard luck to the two teams from Milltown GAA in our own parish, that came second and third. I represented Allenwood in the…

It’s been a while since I’ve given an update on Allenwood Playground but a lot of work has been going on behind the scenes. In this video I explain why it was delayed and where it’s at, as of today. The new site has been approved by Kildare County Council and the original plans for…
Motivated by the ongoing work to link Naas to the Greenway, I am again asking Kildare County Council to provide me with a costing for the footpath on the R415 from Cushalla to Derrymullen (Bond) Bridge in Allenwood. This has always been my highest priority piece of footpath, given that it will link the village…

The community focus on this fly-tipping black spot at the northern entrance to Ballyteague Forest over the last year has been tremendous. Following my request, Allenwood Tidy Towns have kindly sponsored the new CCTV camera allowing the approach roads to be monitored.

Great work by the Kildare County Council roads crew in Allenwood South this week. The lane between Doyle’s Wood Road and Malone Way Road had become very unsafe due to the hedgerow overgrowth and the condition of the road surface. Repairs to the road and trimming of the hedge were carried out at my request,…
This latest pile of rubbish in Ballyteague contained two pieces of evidence identifying an individual living in a nearby village. We also have CCTV footage of vehicles using the bog lane. I have handed the evidence over to the Community Warden and the person will receive a fine very shortly. At some point I am…
At the October full council meeting today, I proposed that the council make a bye-law to set the speed limit at all primary and secondary schools in the county to 30 kilometres per hour, at all times of the day. At Killina National School, the nearest school to the entrance of the Drehid Waste Management…
