Flashing Lights for Carnaun School

Following representations from parents of children attending Carnaun National School, I’m pleased to allocate funding towards the provision of flashing warning lights on the approach roads to the school. This work will be completed early in the New Year and will be very beneficial in Road Safety terms for pupils attending the school.

Playground support for Craughwell

Galway County Council has agreed to provide substantial funding towards the provision of a playground in Craughwell.

Subject to a suitable site being available the Council will give €50,000 towards the cost of development and play equipment. It will also provide insurance cover on an on-going basis.

I am delighted with this very positive news for Craughwell and I wish to congratulate the Craughwell Development Association on its submission to the County Council requesting the funding.

I was glad to be of assistance to them in their proposal.
