“To ask Sligo County Council for an update on the following:

(a) Low accidents cost schemes currently approved and money allocated to these schemes in this Municipal area
(b) Safe routes to schools’ schemes in the Municipal area allocated money and awaiting works to be completed
(c) Active Travel schemes planned or been considered in the Municipal area

I would recommend that if external contractors were not available or too expensive to carry out the above works especially a safe route to school project that the money allocated to these projects be given to the area engineer in that area to carry out the works so that this money does not end up not getting spent.”

4.15 To consider the following motion as submitted Councillor B. Gallagher

“To ask Sligo County Council for an update on a previous motion I had in last year, in relation to the bad bends at Lough Talt. I would recommend that solar powered dangerous bends signs be installed on both sides (Tubbercurry side at the Lough Talt water treatment plant) and before the layby coming from the Ballina side. Grading back 1 meter of soil from the ditch on the water treatment plant side on the corner would make it also much safer for the families who live down in the village to the right (Road number L88015).”

4.16 To consider the following motion as submitted Councillor B. Gallagher

“To ask Sligo County Council to contact Uisce Éireann in relation to all the water outages lately in South Sligo affecting especially Cloonacool and Tubbercurry. Once one leak is fixed another one seems to appear. This is not acceptable for elderly people who are sick, families and farmers who must go without water for days. The old trunk main is not fit for purpose and needs to be upgraded immediately along the R294 from the Plant to Tubbercurry.”

How many outages / bursts have been on the trunk main feeding these areas ‘in the last 12 months.”

4.17 To consider the following motion as submitted Councillor L. Brennan

“To ask Sligo County Council to carry out repair work to both side walls of a bridge over the Douglas River, located on the L13047-0 in the town land of Rossmore, Rivertown. There is a large crack on each side walls of this bridge and will cause a huge safety risk to pedestrians and motorists if they collapse.”

4.18 To consider the following motion as submitted Councillor L. Brennan

“To ask Sligo County Council to contact ESB Networks for an updated report on the continuous power outages in the Emlagh, Ross, Rossmore, Rusheen, Trushvalley, area of Riverstown.
