I am delighted that works are underway on the two culverts in Primrose Gate Estate in Celbridge.This work once complete will assist in alleviating flooding in the Primrose Gate Estate, Celbridge GA.A, Celbridge Tennis Club, St. Patrick's N.S and the surrounding area. I have worked with all the different stakeholders over a long period of time to bring about these much needed works and upgrades which will assist positively. I hope once these works are complete it will reduce the risk of flooding which was experienced as recent as November 2014 in this general area.

I am also working with the different agencies etc to ensure the permanent solution is agreed and put in place to alleviate the flooding in this area. This has been an issue for a long period of time and is unfair on all the Residents, School and sports facilities that has been affected. Once this solution is agreed it will allow the Department of Education to re-submit their planning application to construct two new schools at this location which is the wishes of all the people living on this side of Celbridge. I want to thanks Kildare County Council for their assistance on this project.
