A vandalised fence in Graiguecullen has to be fixed by its owner as it is private property, according to Laois County Council.

Cllr Aisling Moran, Fine Gael, called on the council to repair the bridge on the Sleaty Road as it has been vandalised again.

Philip McVeigh, Senior Executive Engineer, said the site has been inspected.
