At a recent LBDC Community Alert meeting where planning for the Spring Clean in Lullymore, Drumsru, Barnaran and Cappanargid took place. Our local community Gardaí were present also with some helpful advice as always. One of the longest established community groups that I work with in my area and I always look forward to meeting with them.
Construction is now complete on the new playground in Allenwood. I love the entrance sign “as Gaeilge”! There is still some work to be done on the car parking areas and access pathways to the playground, but there are no major blockers at the moment. The required paperwork will need to be signed off and…

Very happy to announce that I have been selected as candidate by Fine Gael for the Local Elections next June, alongside my fellow candidate, William Durkan. We are both looking forward to working together for West Kildare in the coming months. Thanks to Damien English TD for chairing the meeting.
Lullymore Graveyard is maintained by the local community with support from the Doyle family, and always looks well. It is located on the site of an historic monastic settlement, which was known as Lilcach. An ideal location, as it was surrounded by the Bog of Allen on all sides. Some of the stone slabs from…
I have been advised today by Uisce Éireann that the replacement of the water main from Allen Reservoir to Kilmeague, and from Kilmeague to Littletown, has now been identified as a high priority scheme due to the significant number of outages on the line in recent months. The design phase is now underway and I…
