Many local walkers are delighted with the improvements carried out on The Old
Dublin Road by the people constructing the new power plant who are using it to
bring material onto the site.They are less happy with the approach part from the

farm waste on the roadside.The contractors have been approached and will look

Weather continues very good today. Yesterday there was rain in Mayo and in
Galway.
