Flooding Relief Updates
By James Lawless ~ December 4th, 2009. Filed under: Environment, Sallins.
A second meeting was held on Wednesday night (2nd December) and the following was agreed -
One group will work with the county councillors to try meet with council officials and press for drains upgrade that is needed at Kerdiffstown. The temporary drain that was dug on Tuesday is still open but this needs to be replaced with a more pernamanet solution. This group will work on this issue.
The other group will work to coordinate local relief efforts across the community. If you would like to go on this committee call Kevin Dillon on 086 164 0658.
