The NTA have confirmed to me that bus stops will be installed in Kilshanroe, following on from the new stops in Johnstownbridge. I justified these new bus stops in a submission to the NTA in December 2021, which you can read at https://b-wy.se/nta. It will be a great service for the residents of Kilshanroe and…
Go Ahead have not yet published an updated timetable for the 120C service for Johnstownbridge with times for the new bus stops, so I have created the timetable myself using data from the NTA.

A new Women’s Shed for the community of Balyna and surrounding areas was formed recently and they held their first event in Cadamstown Hall last week with support from Local Property Tax community funding.

I was happy to assist the BREDA Community Resource Centre in Johnstownbridge recently with the upgrade of their computer systems. Kildare County Council were kindly able to provide some out of warranty PCs that were more powerful than the ones being used in the centre. The BREDA centre also initiated the setting up of a…
