Our first ever Goal Mile in Allenwood was a great success on the morning of Stephen’s Day. We were very lucky to avoid any showers and had over 300 participants, with great representation from Allenwood, Ballyteague and surrounding areas. Well done to Celine Cronly, who organised the entire event at very short notice. Celine lined…
The application for a wind farm in Drehid has been refused by Kildare County Council. The two reasons for refusal relate to the surrounding road infrastructure. The L5025, where it was proposed to locate the main site entrance, along with other local roads close to the area, were deemed unsuitable for the traffic that would…
