“The project is very welcome news for the residents of The Loup. Many of them, young and old, will regularly use the new footpath on their way to the local GAA pitch.

“I’ve spoken with the contractor on site, and he has confirmed it will take approximately 10 weeks to complete the project.

“During construction of the footpath I would urge everyone to be extra careful when using this stretch of road.”
