Thanks to the residents that reported these issues to myself and Cllr. Brendan Weld, and…

The lane between Doyle’s Wood Road and Malone Way Road had become very unsafe due to the hedgerow overgrowth and the condition of the road surface. Repairs to the road and trimming of the hedge were carried out at my request,…
I have observed firsthand, danger and confusion at the junction of the Resurrexit road in Kilmeague recently. Cars were shooting across from the Prosperous direction, partly due to the lack of clear road markings.
