Following the final coating last week, I am now marking the project status for the L-50261-1 road in Killina Lower as complete. My thanks to the residents of the road and the Kildare County Council roads section of Maynooth area for their assistance with this. I hope that the vehicles using the road now keep the speed…

Earlier this year, the contractors working on behalf of Irish Water removed some kerbing near Cushalla in Allenwood. I reported the issue and wrote it about it at https://brendanwyse.ie/2018/08/02/kerbs-removed-during-road-works/. Cllr. Mark Stafford raised a motion on my behalf, in relation to the issue, at the October council meeting. I see that the kerbing has now been…
