FOOTPATH WORKS in Killaloe are scheduled to be completed by the middle of January.
Funding for footpath replacement construction works at both Thomas Street and Crossroads in Killaloe was provided from IPB Public Liability Works funding and General Municipal Allocation.
In an update before the Killaloe Municipal District, acting senior executive engineer, Derek Troy stated, “the main contractor has been procured and contract awarded. It is expected that the works will be completed by mid-January 2023”. The works had been due to start at the beginning of December.
Cllr Tony O’Brien (FF) who proposed the works commented, “there was a commitment given that they would be undertaken”. His motion seeking an update was seconded by Cllr Pat Hayes (FF).
He added, “It’s a pity they weren’t done earlier” prompting Cllr Alan O’Callaghan (FF) to interject, “it will be done closer to election time”. Killaloe based O’Brien said he was willing to give the Cathaoirleach a tour around the crossroads, “I wouldn’t be worried about an election,” he told his party colleague.
