Funding is being sought for a footpath upgrade near an East Clare school where “serious” safety concerns have been flagged.
Killaloe Municipal District applied for 2024 Active Travel Funding to connect Scariff National School to the local rugby grounds by way of a footpath but this application has proved unsuccessful.
The local body has confirmed however that it’s engaged with local stakeholders on the plans and it’s seeking an “alternative funding mechanism” as a means of delivering the upgrade works.
Mayor of Clare and Bodyke Fine Gael Councillor Joe Cooney, who called for an update on the works at this month’s meeting of East Clare representatives which took place this week, believes funding will be sourced for the all-important project.
