Request for bus stop near Turin GAA

A request that the Municipal District of Mullingar Kinnegad engage with Bus Éireann to add a bus stop near the Turin GAA pitch on route 167 was made by Cllr Niall Gaffney at the November meeting.

Officials noted they could issue a letter to Bus Éireann and the National Transport Authority (NTA) to pursue the request, pending member agreement.

At the same meeting, Cllr Gaffney raised concerns about the N52-L1532 junction at Cavestown; and there are currently no plans for works there, though discussions have been held with the National Road Design Office, which is evaluating other sections of the N52 for upgrades.

The district confirmed in relation to a further request from Cllr Gaffney that a traffic calming assessment is in progress to evaluate village needs in the county.

Once complete, the assessment will provide a prioritised list of towns and villages for future traffic calming measures, which will be shared with district members for planning purposes.
