Local County Councillor Micheál Lowry says it clears the way for much needed works
“It will allow the County Council undertake construction of a 400 metre storm water drain. It will alleviate a problem that around 200 metres of the road would have suffered severe flooding over the years.”
“Not only did it provide a nuisance and a possible threat to homes in the locality but also to road users. It’s a heavily trafficked road and during prolonged periods of wet weather that road became impassable.”
