Local municipal district manager Joe Boland is to meet with Cllr Tracey O'Dwyer at Grangemore Cottages in Brannockstown to discuss repairs and maintenance matters in the area, writes Brian Byrne.

This follows a discussion at the recent Kildare-Newbridge MD meeting where a report for the councillor's motion wasn't available, because nobody was sure who was responsible for answering the query.

Officials said it was both an 'anomaly' relating to there being two municipal districts involved, as well as the fact that the matter 'fell between' the Engineering, Parks, and Roads departments.

Cllr Kevin Duffy, who raised the motion on party colleague Cllr O'Dwyer's behalf, said it was an example of the 'frustration' that happened when matters fell between departments, and the Council needed to decide how it was going to respond. “We waste Council time when we're always dealing with multiple people on the same issues,” he said.

Mr Boland agreed, and said that as manager he will 'escalate the issue' and meet with Cllr O'Dwyer at the location.
