Playground contractor on site

The company building the new Community Playground is now on site and work is expected to be completed in February.

Orla O'Neill, who led the committee that pushed through the long-awaited project, said it was a 'champagne' occasion for the group. "But given the current state of the economy, maybe we'll settle for a bottle of Cava," she quipped.

The €200,000 project is being paid for by Kildare County Council, local funds, and the County Kildare Leader group.
