The disgraceful and disrespectful littering around the picnic benches at Allenwood Cross has to stop. There are two bins kindly provided by Texaco Spar Allenwood just beside the area.

Well done to Ballyteague GAA Official and all involved in installing a new community defibrillator just down the road from the 20th Lock (Murphy’s).

Fresh new car park for Broadford Church and National School with thanks to our Clane Maynooth Area Engineer and his team. I was very happy to work with Broadford Area Residents Association to request the allocation of €1,500 from Local Property Tax to get this done.
