This is well used but is owned by the Golf Club. I negotiated with them to improve it jointly with the Council. This is now paved and much better. The little used one at Pavillion Road was closed, as it was a source of anti-social behaviour.

The planning rules provide for a minimum plot size of a quarter of an acre and a ban on apartments in the Old Burnaby. The ban on apartments was initially removed when the last Development Plan was being prepared but I demanded and got it reinstated. I supported the area becoming an Architectural Conservation Area […]

The Delgany Community Council held a meeting in the Wicklow Arms on Tuesday night to press for Heritage village status. Over 50 people attended and discussed the features which should be protected and how to go about it. I think that Delgany is attractive and that the atmosphere and character of the buildings and streets […]

A site for a children’s playground is available on Sea Road and it is important to get this built in the near future. Footpaths to the station and GAA Club are also needed as well as community facilities.

There are large traffic jams on this in both directions at rush hour because the road is carrying 1.75 times the amount it was designed for. I am concerned that it will seize up. Nobody was paying any attention to this. During my year as Cathaoirleach I have raised this many times and think that […]

I campaigned for 22 years, together with Cllr. George Jones, to get the DART to Greystones and have continued to press for more trains. I tried to meet the Chairman of CIE about a long-term plan, unfortunately he did not agree to meet but he said that he will consider providing extra DARTs. Irish Rail […]

 (photo) 5 years ago I got the strongest restrictions on house building in Wicklow to apply between the main road and the sea on Bray Head. In the previous 20 years there had been 26 planning applications to build houses on Cliff Road, Windgates. Minister of State, Dick Roche T.D. (Fianna Fail) has written at […]
