Good to hear that dual star hurler / footballer John Ryan is looking for planning permission to build a house in Woodbank or Cillaport as it says on the paper.
At the wedding someone was telling about a road that was once propsed to build that would cross the Blackwater nearer theShannon and cross into Galway around Cillaport.
Daly's house in Blackwater was about to be built and the front of the house was built facing the new road. Plans were changed and the bridge at Shannonbridge was built.
The road was laid as itis today laving Daly's old house with it;s back to the present road.
In more recent years there were plans to bypass the present bridge in Shannonbridge crossing the callows behind the post office.The Council were building Kitts and Rocks houses and they were built facing the new road. Then a change in plan meant the present bridge was strengthened and the new road idea put aside.
