A housing report circulated amongst members of Gorey Kilmuckridge Municipal District Council at the March meeting evoked frustration, rage and confusion as the councillors slated the failure to deliver houses in Gorey during a housing crisis and ahead of an eviction ban.
Councillors Andrew Bolger, Joe Sullivan and Donal Kenny were selected by members of Fianna Fail to contest the local elections in 2024 at the recent Fianna Fail Selection Convention chaired by Senator Pat Casey.
Councillors vented their frustrations over continued delays at Gorey Town Park during last week s meeting of Gorey-Kilmuckridge Municipal District.
Sean Meyler from Special Projects gave an update on the town park and said that when work shut down due to level five restrictions, the contractor was two months away from substantial completion.
He said that he didn t know what impact the current lockdown was going to have on the efficiencies of the construction sector, but that when the contractor started back on site in May of last year, it took them a couple of weeks to find their feet again because of issues of supply and subcontractor availability. He also said that he suspects they will return to the site on Monday, March 8, but that unfortunately the bulb planting season has now been missed.
