Junction Upgrade: Banteer Lyre and Districts Community Council welcome the announcement by Councillors John Paul O Shea and Bernard Moynihan that Bord Pleanala has approved the planning for the upgrade of Ballymaquirke Junction. This project is long overdue and was discussed in detail at a public meeting organised by the Community Council in March 2018. It is hoped that the project will now proceed to tender ASAP with Transport Infrastructure Ireland and commence construction. Banteer Lyre GAA: A huge thanks to Connie, Eamon and all at E Tarrant & Sons Ltd for their continued support of our club, by sponsoring new jerseys and training tops for our Junior hurling team. The Club are delighted with this fantastic new kit. The new jersey will be available on the club shop in due course. Details to be posted via social media channels.
