These works include the road from Blackhall Cross northwards to Murrays Cross, almost 100k euro and from Grangebellew to Gallstown Road junction, over 30k euro.

To continue the work to date and due to increase public awareness of the service the group intend to erect signs, similar to above, on the public roads advising of the community alert system. The success of this system is based on the support of the community as a whole and we need your support. Why not join today??? Application forms are available in the local shops, Churches and Credit Union.
