New town engineer

An initial informal meeting with the new Town Engineer appointed to Kilcullen has been 'positive', the recent meeting of Kilcullen Community Action heard.

The engineer -- appointed by Kildare County Council -- is Willie Purcell, and after the meeting with KCA's Ronan Murphy, a list of things that need to be attended to is to be drawn up.

"He has already said he'll 'look after' a number of issues which Ronan raised," KCA chairman Kieran Forde said.
