Roadworks

Roadworks!
Anybody who has gone through the village today has seen some serious level roadworks going on. The NRA has surprised us all by doing a very fast assessment of work and beginning immediately!

Expect the work to take a few weeks. They're doing a proper re-surfacing on a stretch of the road going from Cork Road corner to the bridge by the Thatch.

Or, at least, that's what we've found out so far!

Please feel free to add more details if you have them!

This information is also on our facebook page.

Awards Night

Last Thursday, 22nd October, some of the Killeagh and Inch Community Council travelled to Oriel House, Ballincollig for an awards night for those who participated in 'Pride in our Communities'. There were a number of communities represented with some worthy winners.

The projects undertaken this year ranged form river walks to sensory gardens to cleaning up graveyards. Over 30 projects were represented on the night.

Killeagh took home a cheque for €100, and we plan to re-invest it in finishing off some of our work in the old graveyard in Killeagh.

Pictured in Ballincollig are (from left to right): Sean Murphy; Pat Kirby; Anne Fitzgerald; John Hurley; Finbarr Motherway.
