Barrowhouse GAA Club Shanganaghmore

Work is due to be carried out on a busy stretch of road at Shanganaghmore.

Independent Cllr Aisling Moran requested the work in a motion at the latest Portarlington Graiguecullen Municipal District meeting. 

She asked: “That Laois County Council carry out strengthening works on the L39751-0 from Barrowhouse towards Ballylinan at Shanganaghmore as a matter of urgency, also to install signage, road markings and passing bays to make the road safe.”

In response, Senior Executive Engineer, Philip McVeigh said: “This road is included in the draft roads programme for 2025 for strengthening improvement works. Ancillary works on this road can also be carried out at the time the road is being strengthened.”

Cllr Moran thanked Mr McVeigh for the response. She said the GAA Club is on the road and “there is people coming from all sides”.

Fianna Fail Cllr Padraig Fleming seconded the motion and said he was glad to note the work would be done.
