Repair work has been carried out along a road in Ballylinan, a recent meeting was told. 

Cllr Padraig Flaming explained that there was an accident at one location and it resulted in a section of the road being “dug up”. 

He put down a motion in relation to the road surface at the last meeting of Portarlington Graiguecullen Municipal District. 

Cllr Fleming asked “that Laois County Council repair / reinstate the road edge surface at the two locations as identified on the Boley Road, Ballylinan.”

Senior Executive Engineer, Philip McVeigh said  “Laois County Council has investigated and completed the road repair works at both of these locations.”
