We are very sorry to be losing our area engineer, Shane Aylward, as he moves on to a new role. Shane has done amazing work in our area in the last few years, with a particularly good focus on local roads that were long needing repairs. We presented a bog oak sculpture called ‘Án Préachán’…

The back lane was resurfaced this week at a cost of €30,000 and new gullies have also been installed. The entrance to the school…
The R414 to Lullymore is in a good state now to serve the hundreds of buses visiting Lullymore Heritage & Discovery Park when we return to school tour season next year.
