A Laois County councillor fumed at county hall this month over a long running issue in Stradbally which Government road safety agencies have so far refused to sanction safety measures for, and a footpath to the town’s cemetery.
Cllr Paschal McEvoy labeled delays in finding a solution for pedestrians and other road users on the N80 at Oakvale an embarrassing thundering disgrace .
Speaking at the Portarlington Graiguecullen Municipal District meeting in December, he said he had raised the issue up to seven years ago when he first got elected.
