Thanks to the local council roads team for acting quickly to stop vehicles from parking on the new footpath at the pedestrian and cycle entrance to Farnan Wood and the 821 bus stop in Prosperous. I put in the request earlier this week after seeing the area blocked off by a large vehicle and it…

The 20th Lock, Ticknevin, on the Grand Canal main line, was looking lovely at the weekend. I noticed that the lifebuoy ring is missing and have requested a new one.
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…
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…
Printed copies of the timetable for the 821 Local Link service are now available in Coill Dubh Post Office, Quick Pick Robertstown (Post Office), GALA Kilmeague and An Post Allenwood. They’re also available to download from my website at https://b-wy.se/821

Lullymore Heritage & Discovery Park celebrated their 30th year today with the opening of a new section of their bog boardwalk by Minister Thomas Byrne. I was delighted to attend alongside Minister Martin Heydon and there was great local community support, which the park has always had. Well done to Ray, Johnny and the team…
In 2021 I made a submission to the NTA requesting a new bus service from Allenwood to Rathangan which would serve the Bog of Allen Nature Centre and Lullymore Heritage and Discovery Park. We met with the NTA on Monday and it looks like this service could possibly be provided later this year or early…
The new bus stops in Johnstownbridge are now in place and getting good use throughout the day. It made no sense for the 120C bus service to pass through the village without stopping, given the population and services in it. The BREDA Centre has been campaigning for this for a long time and myself and…
