Former glory sought for Laois bridge


Council to do an assessment after cleaning
A councillor is looking forward to a bridge being cleaned by Laois County Council in the Cullohill area.
Cllr Ollie Clooney, Independent, news he wanted after tabling a motion at calling for an inspection on the bridge at Cannonswood.
“The people in the community are concerned,” he said.
Edmond Kenny, District Engineer, replied that the bridge will be cleared of vegetation for further inspection. He said Cllr Clooney would be updated on the condition of the bridge following the inspection.
“It would be nice to see the bridge being brought back to its former glory,” said Cllr Clooney.
The issue was raised at a recent meeting of the Borris-in-Ossory Mountmellick Municipal. District.
