€75K to fix rain-battered roads
24.09.08
AROUND €75,000 has been
allocated to upgrade a number of roads in Gleneely
including sections washed away in the summer's heavy
rainfall.
Inishowen Senator Cecilia Keaveney welcomed the
funding that has been allocated under the Clár
programme.
Three roads around Gleneely village and environs
will receive upgrade funding of €19,514, €19,000 and
€38,514 respectively from the Departments of Rural
Affairs and Transport. |

“The fruits of the Clár
monies are very tangible and real. In this latest
funding announcement we see Gleneely gain in a
top-up of the money being allocated to them," said
Senator Keaveney.
"I know that the areas that receive Clár funds for
water, roads, sports and so forth are delighted with
their extra top-ups and I also realise other areas
would like to be included in what has |
been a very clever and
practical support for our rural communities."
Donegal County Councillor Marian McDonald also
welcomed the allocation. “Following the heavy rain
fall in recent weeks a number of hill roads
particularly in the Gleneely area have been washed
away. Today’s allocation will be used by the Council
to deal with these problems and I have no doubt that
this money will be greatly welcomed by all affected
in those areas.” |
