Miley to meet minister on bypass

Councillor Martin Miley has added his voice to the campaign for a slip road off the new motorway section at Kilgowan.

In a statement he says this slip road is vital for the local community as the industrial area of South Kildare is being cut off from this major road infrastructure.

“I welcome the road but am extremely worried about the effect it will have on employment in rural South Kildare,” he says. “I have called on the minister and will be meeting him in the coming weeks to try and get this vital life line for our area.”

Up to 150 local jobs are under threat if the slip road isn’t provided.
