James Lawless TD has professed himself delighted to see that Kildare County Council have officially begun to seek tenders for the Sallins Bypass and upgrading of the M7
The project includes M7 Naas Newbridge Bypass Upgrade and the M7 Osberstown Interchange & R407 Sallins Bypass.
James said, “It is fantastic to this project making steady progress. I was cautious in September 2015 in welcoming funding as residents in Naas & Sallins had been promised these works since the early 1990’s. I have campaigned strenuously for years on this issue, these road projects will bring a dramatic improvement to the lives of people living in Naas and Sallins, travelling through as well as the thousands who use the M7 everyday.”
Local Fianna Fail General Election candidate, Cllr Frank O’Rourke, has called on the Department of Communication and the Minister for Communications, to have broadband access for Newtown and surrounding areas a priority for this Department.

‘At a time when we are trying to encourage people to work from home, to encourage and nurture small businesses, support exiting businesses and ensure that people have reliable access to broadband, we see that little or no progress has been made to provide a Broadband service for Newtown and surrounding areas. Kildare is home to world class IT companies and it beggars belief that homes and businesses within a couple of miles of these companies have little or no broadband access.’ Continue reading “Rural Areas need proper access to Broadband – Frank O’Rourke”
