“To ask Sligo County Council to

  • erect a safety barrier along the exposed river along road L6104 Ranmore, Coolaney, due to the exposed fast flowing deep river which coming from the Coolaney, direction is on a decent along the road
  • that the entrance road to Coolaney L2801 broken white line can be changed to a double white line? There are vehicles passing in and out entering and exiting the village, and it is dangerous for residents exiting their homes and traffic exiting the national mountain bike track ”

“To ask Sligo County Council to give an update on the completion of all outstanding works and a date for the TIC of the following estates

    • Temple Manor, Ballinacarrow

    • Rathosey, ”

4.7  To consider the following motion as submitted Councillor D. Mulvey:
“To ask Sligo County Council to put road L1502 on the winter gritting route considering it is the main artery route of the N4 into Ballymote, Tubbercurry and other parts of South Sligo, as it is a shorter route to these towns.”

4.8  To consider the following motion as submitted Councillor L. Brennan:
“To ask Sligo County Council for an update on the speed limit review on the L3700 and what is the correct process for Council Members after you submit your findings.”

4.9  To consider the following motion as submitted Councillor L. Brennan:
“To ask Sligo County Council to include the following three routes to the main gritting plan

  • Coola, via Riverstown out to Drumfin
  • Drumfin to Ballymote
  • Castlebaldwin to Ballymote

Those three routes are main arteries to the local region, which accommodate secondary Schools, National Schools, Riverstown Village and Ballymote town.

Businesses and local link bus service, which will not operate in frosty conditions. I want to acknowledge the great work carried out by our outdoor staff who operate during those frosty conditions.”

4.10  To consider the following motion as submitted Councillor L. Brennan:
“To ask Sligo County Council to write to the National Transport Authority (NTA) and Transport for Ireland (TFI/Local Link) to assess and consider the provision of a dedicated Local Link bus service between Boyle and Sligo, via the L3700, serving communities including Ballinafad, Castlebaldwin, Drumfin, Lackagh, Doorly, and Collooney.

While Bus Éireann’s Expressway Route 23 currently connects Boyle with Sligo, it operates primarily on the new N4 as a long-distance commercial service and only stops at Collooney and Castlebaldwin on this section of the route. It does not provide the frequent, accessible, rural connectivity that a local link service would offer, particularly for workers, students and those without private transport.”

“To ask Sligo County Council to request TII to carry out improvement works on the junction linking R293 with the N17 in the light of recent accidents.”

4.14  To consider the following motion as submitted Councillor M. Clarke:
“To ask Sligo County Council to write to the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Mr Martin Hayden TD, to have the following tax stopped – given that cattlemarts and factories will be forced to stop an average of seven euro on every animal that goes through their facilities, as a result of the new VAT regulations.”

4.15  To consider the following motion as submitted Councillor B. Gallagher:
“To ask Sligo County Council to call on the TII to commence the design of a roundabout at Clarkes Bridge, Ballymote Junction on the N17, prioritise and secure funding without delay for the installation of this long overdue and critically needed roundabout, to address ongoing safety concerns, reduce the risk of serious collision, and improve traffic flow at this hazardous junction. I believe this will also tie in with the route for the new N17 corridor and where the new road will meet the existing N17 at this junction.”

4.16  To consider the following motion as submitted Councillor B. Gallagher:
“To ask Sligo County Council to compliment the TII for their pervious allocation of funding and installation of two raised pedestrian crossing in Tubbercurry and safety works completed at the Bunnacrannagh Junction in Curry.

  • following numerous accidents at a junction in Ballyglass, Curry, Sligo L89131-0, I call on the TII through the low-cost accident scheme to install right-hand turning lanes at each junction along the N17 from Bellaghy to Curry. Five main junctions, L8913-0, L89131-0, L8912 and L8510 leading into the respective villages and safety works carried out at the Carrowillkeen and Cashel junction as per two of my past motion recommendations
  • through the active travel scheme for a crossing to be put in Curry on the N17 to link the village of Drimbane for residents, Yeats County Inn Hotel, and our outdoor swimming pool amenity and picnic area to the village (Houses, Church, Public House and Funeral Home, Cemetery and GAA pitch), the playground, community centre and National School
  • through the low-cost accident scheme for safety works to be carried out at the Bellaghy Junction L8918-0 coming out onto the main N17 road. Installation of a raised kerb and take away the parking place which causes a blind spot with all traffic coming from Charlestown if a car is parked in ”
