'Fix the wall' call

Kildare County Council might as well 'fix the wall' on the New Abbey Road over the Valley Park, Niall McDonnell told a recent meeting of Kilcullen Community Action.

"In the times that are in it, they're not going to spend the €100,000 or so it will cost to build a new footpath in the area,, as was suggested," he said.

The first contact with the Council over the wall was made in November 2007. Since then, although a proposal that the Council take up an offer from the Valley trustees to build a footpath behind the wall was discussed by councillors, the stonework has further deteriorated.
