O’ROURKE WELCOMES WORKS ON MAYNOOTH ROAD

Frank O’Rourke TD is delighted that the footpath upgrade and improvements on the Maynooth road in Celbridge is near completed.

Frank commented, “This is an issue raised with me by the many people who use this footpath and it’s a project which I have been working to have completed for some time with my colleague Cllr Michael Coleman.”

“This project was put forward to be funded from the retained L.P.T money. Projects such as this would not be carried out without this funding stream. It is important that L.P.T money is invested in the local area and community to give benefit to everyone.”

“Michael and I will continue to work to secure further funding to improve and upgrade our footpath and road network. We must have a high quality footpath infrastructure to encourage people to walk and exercise more.”

“I want to thank Kildare County Council area staff for their assistance in delivering this project and the many people who raised this issue with me.”

Cllr Frank O’Rourke is delighted to inform the people of Celbridge and the surrounding area that there will be an additional 67 Dublin Bus service from Celbridge to Maynooth at 8.15am Monday to Friday.
