Everyone say cheese! €140m battle is over AFTER a two-year battle, the Supreme Court has dismissed an appeal aimed at overturning planning permission for a €140m cheese plant on Waterford border which will lead to a significant jobs boost in the area. First announced in January 2019, Glanbia Ireland and Royal A-ware, a leading global cheese and dairy producer in The Netherlands, planned to build a new continental cheese manufacturing facility in Belview, Co Kilkenny. It had been hoped the new plant would be operational by last year. However, the project was stalled over planning and legal controversy since its announcement. Opposing the project, An Taisce argued the upstream consequences of the operation of the factory – the potential environmental effects from milk produced across 4,500 farms – should have been assessed by the planning authorities under EU regulations. An Taisce recently appealed a High Court order refusing to quash An Bord Pleanála’s

June 2020 decision. However, the Supreme Court ruled that upstream consequences of the proposed factory, specifically from milk production, were not indirect significant effects liable to be assessed under the Environmental Impact Assessment Directive or the Habitats Directive. Mr Justice Gerard Hogan said the directive should not be conscripted into the general fight against climate change by being made to do the work of other legislative measures. Glanbia Ireland welcomed the decision. Chief executive Jim Bergin said the company can now bring its project to fruition. “This project is in line with Government policy and is critical to our market diversification post-Brexit,” he said. “Getting the plant into production as soon as possible is now of huge importance to our 4,500 farm families supplying their milk to Glanbia Ireland, every day.

Truly, madly, deeply .. Kathleen’s dive record Kathleen Macdonald, who holds the number one ranking in Ireland for freediving.

Waterford reads TWO Waterford schools will take part in a childhood reading initiative from Enterprise RentA-Car and Children’s Books Ireland. The initiative will see more than 1,900 copies of Why the Moon Travels by Oein DeBhairduin donated to children at 64 schools across Ireland and was marked by an event in Tralee attended by Minister for Education Norma Foley. In Waterford, Realt na Mara and St Saviour’s National School are taking part.

Waterford City native Kathleen Macdonald has amassed an impressive 10 Irish national records in just 18 months in freediving and she now holds a number 1 ranking in Ireland for both pool and depth and can hold her breath for 6 minutes and 12 seconds. Freediving is a method of underwater diving in which the diver does not use breathing apparatus, meaning the athletes must hold their breath until

returning to the surface. Kathy discovered her talent for freediving in the middle of the pandemic and since then she has been training and competing at an international level. In the middle of the first lockdown, Kathy’s mum, who lives in Greece, had a relapse of cancer and Kathy flew there to support her. Having previously done a one-day course in the Philippines in 2015, Kathy reached out to ‘One Breath

Freediving’ in Athens to see if she could join an outdoor covid-friendly sport to help her cope with all that was happening around her. It became apparent very quickly that this sport was everything that she needed. In 2022 she will be entering ‘The Big Blue’ competition in September in Greece where some of the top freedivers of the world will be competing. You can follow Kathy’s Freediving journey on social media @huntertravel.

Cheese plant is row over Continued from front page:

In a statement, An Taisce said it noted and respected the decision. It said it had made the appeal in the belief that the tests and structures in place were insufficient. “Our overriding reaction is of continuing concern. Regrettably, the issues raised by this case have not gone away,” it added. The case had also caused controversy at a political level, with Taoiseach Micheál Martin, in May last year, among a host of politicians to call on An Taisce to cease its objections. Yesterday, Fine Gael’s southeast TDs and senators said they hoped it was the “end of the road for objections”. “The long delay is regrettable and was wholly avoidable. It clearly demonstrates there is an element within An Taisce that are anti-business and anti-rural,” they said in a joint statement. IFA president Tim Cullinan said the decision of the Supreme Court to give the green light to the Glanbia cheese plant should be respected by everybody.

Every picture tells a story on Suir Valley rail

WATERFORD Suir Valley has unveiled five new storyboards on the Story of Rail at Kilmeaden Station to coincide with the reopening of the Railway for the 2022 season. The story boards are the final stage of the rebranding of Waterford Suir Valley Railway (WSVR) which began in 2019. Maria Kyte, manager of WSVR said: “We are very happy to see the final aspect of the rebranding of the WSVR project finished. It has been a pleasure working with rebranding experts Totem. Colin Byrne and his team at Totem have delivered us a brand that reflects what the Waterford Suir Valley Railway is about and we will be proud to use it as we continue to develop the story of rail in the future. “It was important to us to use railway material, we chose old rail and sleepers from the station to hold the storyboards. It’s a wonderful, bright addition to Kilmeadan Station. “The five storyboards feature stories WSVR wanted to

Cllr John Leary, Maria and Mick Dunne (above) and Seamus and Hollie Dunphy with Ned Kelly (top right) at Waterford Suir Valley Railway. preserve and share: the story of rail, of time, of emigration, sport and social history, of how the railways were built, what they were used for, how they were a mirror to Irish society, and the story of WSVR itself! The railway is open for the week of the February mid-term break with train trips departing

on the hour from 11am to 2pm Monday to Saturday and 12noon to 3pm on Sunday. Located 11km from Waterford City, Kilmeadan Station is also a refreshment stop on Waterford Greenway. The Whistlestop Café provides a welcome rest for walkers and cyclist on the Greenway.

Bloomin’ great! Festival is back FOR all those with green fingers who have been pining for the return of Ireland’s hottest gardening event — Bloom — then you will be thrilled to hear it is returning this year with a bumper crop. Bord Bia announced the annual event, which was on a two-year hiatus due to Covid, will return to the Phoenix Park, Dublin from June 2 to June 6. With consumer spend on gardening reaching a record €1.2bn during the first year of the lockdown, the Irish horticultural industry has been thriving and demand for tickets to Bloom is expected to be huge.

However, the expected daily number of visitors will be capped, so you do need to book well in advance. Bord Bia CEO Tara McCarthy said she was “delighted” that the event would be park in the park this year. “The entire team is looking forward to welcoming both new and returning visitors back to the Park for the first time in two years.” For this year’s festival, entries are now open to gardening and community groups from all over Waterford to apply for the popular Postcard Gardens category. Early bird tickets are available from bordbiabloom. com.

Big thanks from GOAL GOAL has thanked the people in Waterford who took part in the GOAL Mile over the Christmas period, with over €400,000 in total from the GOAL mile runs being donated to the humanitarian aid agency at fundraising events in Ireland and abroad. The Christmas tradition of running, jogging or walking a Mile in support

of GOAL’s work has taken place since the 1980s. Funds raised support the agency’s emergency response and humanitarian work in 14 countries in Africa, Latin America and the Middle East. A GOAL Mile event was held at the Waterford Town Greenway on Christmas Day, with people of all ages taking part.

Green light given for 62 affordable new homes The Department for Housing has approved 62 new affordable houses in Waterford. A total of 119, 3 and 4 bed housing units are set to be delivered by Whitebox Property Group, alongside Frisby Homes, in three separate locations across Waterford City — Kilbarry, Deerpark, & Mountneil, with 62 units set aside as affordable homes. Niall Harrington, Creative Director of Whitebox Property Group, said: “Whitebox continues to play an important role in combating the housing crisis in Waterford through the delivery of these affordable housing units across the city, in what we hope will have a real positive impact on the region in the near future.” All of the homes within these developments will be available for purchase under the Government’s Help-to-Buy Scheme. The current scheme is eligible up until 31 December 2022, with claimants able to receive compensation up to the value of €30,000, or 10% of the value of your new home.

Time we told An Taisce to mind its own business

reland’s planning system is cumbersome and costly. Local authorities make decisions, Bord Pleanála may overrule them and the dispute can end up in court. Sometimes the verdict will be appealed to a higher court, as happened with the proposal for a cheese plant at Belview, on the WaterfordKilkenny border. The process can take years, two years in the case of the Belview plant, during which time work is left undone but bills may still roll in. Sometimes the applicant gives up, as happened in 2108 when Apple abandoned plans for an €850m centre in Athenry. That proposal which, like the Belview plan, had strong local support, had been bouncing around the system for almost three years. “Despite our best efforts, delays in the approval process

Michael Wolsey

forced us to make other plans,” the company said. When it announced the Athenry plan, Apple also sought permission for a data centre in Denmark. There permission was granted and the centre completed in the time it took the Irish application to move from approval to appeal and then into the courts. Difficulties with Ireland’s labyrinthine system are further complicated by folk who won’t mind their own business. Objections to a proposal can be lodged by people who have nothing to do with the development and who live, or are based, nowhere near it. Objectors to the Athenry plant included an eco group from Co Meath and the objection to the Belview plan was driven by An Taisce, the national trust. An Taisce didn’t object to the factory itself. It had no problem with the things most of regard

as relevant to a planning application: the design of the plant, its shape, its size, or how it fitted with its surroundings. An Taisce’s issue was with damage to the Irish environment in general. It argued that Irish farmers should not be encouraged to supply milk for the cheese that Glanbia and Dutch company Royal A-Ware intend to make at Belview. The problem was the “perilous state of Ireland’s carbon and pollution footprint”, according to An Taisce’s Natural Environment Officer, Dr Elaine McGoff . The Belview development “would just tip us over the edge,” she told RTE. An Taisce will claim that this is its business. According to the trust’s website, its “original mission (was the) protection of built and natural heritage” but it has moved to “a more encompassing vision including a focus on ecosystem resilience and

Have you noticed litter in your area and want to prevent it? Are you part of a group that wants to help to put a stop to graffiti in your community? Waterford City and County Council invites submissions from community groups, youth groups, schools or other community development organisations, based in County Waterford, who are interested in receiving funding for initiatives regarding litter or graffiti. The main focus for projects this year should be on coastal litter, roadside litter and dog fouling.

biodiversity enhancement.” Who asked An Taisce to take this change of direction? The body is largely funded by the Irish taxpayer through a number of Government departments. I don’t recall us ever being consulted on the issue. But even if “ecosystem resilience and biodiversity “ is a legitimate crusading issue for An Taisce, it is not the business of the planning process. The amount of milk our farms produce is a matter for farmers, the Government and the EU. Planning permission should be about structural safety and the impact of a development on the locality; whether, for instance, it adds to traffic problems or creates difficulties for local residents. An Taisce has been trying to extend the planning rules to include matters of national policy which should be left to elected representatives. It took

its fight against the Belview plant through Kilkenny County Council, An Bord Pleanála, the High Court and finally the Supreme Court, which has ruled that the factory can go ahead. The bill for this legal wrangling will be footed mainly by the taxpayer, whether it is paid directly by An Taisce or , through the awarding of costs, by the Department of Justice. The Kerry TD. Michael Healy-Rae, has called for an end to all State funding for An Taisce. I wouldn’t like to see that happen but there is a real risk that it will if the trust continues to meddle in planning matters in this way . An Taisce is perfectly entitled to lobby on national policy and equally entitled to raise planning objections on legitimate local issues. When it conflates the two, it is treading on dangerous ground.

Wild Water

book of the week

with Justin Ivory

Marsh Marigold – a perfect plant for your pond (Photo Justin Ivory) One of the best things you can do for wildlife in your garden is to put in a pond. The good news is you do not need a large garden or lots of space. Neither does it have to be a major or costly undertaking. Something as simple as rectangular basing or other waterproof container can make a perfect little pond submerged in the ground and filled with rainwater, some rocks, and native aquatic plants. In no time at all your mini-pond will soon attract frogs, newts, dragonflies, damselflies, and a whole horde of water mini-beasts. It will also provide a source of water for birds and mammals to drink and bathe in. Ponds can be installed at any time of the year, but winter and early spring is the perfect time as you won’t have to wait long before the wildlife and biodiversity starts to appear. As the saying goes – ‘Build it and they will come!’. How do you build your minipond? Here are some simple steps: 1. Choose location. A position with some sunlight and shade is perfect. 2. Dig a hole to accommodate your container. Remove sharp stones/objects from the bottom of the hole to prevent the container being punctured. 3. Add rocks and gravel to the bottom of the container to provide hiding places. Also use bricks, stones, bits of wood etc. to create a stepped/sloped effect so that birds can safely access the water without the risk of falling into deep water and drowning. 4. Next add some plants. Oxygenating plants are essential. It is best to use native species. Hornwort and Watermilfoil are recommended. Include two or three native marginal plants around the edge to give perches and cover to wildlife. Plants such as water forget-me-not, lesser spearwort and marsh marigold are good choices. 5. Fill up your pond with rainwater. Now sit back and wait for the wildlife to come!

dramatically to between 7% to 10%. Our volunteers all live in our local communities so we hope that we will have very quick response times between our local knowledge and our members being spread out around our catchment area which is 3km radius around Waterford city. Groups like ours are so important for our communities because although our Ambulance personnel do an amazing job they are stretched very thin. There are situations where an ambulance could be coming from a different county and could potentially be an hour away. In cardiac situations time is of the utmost importance and this is where having responders potentially only minutes away is vital. It becomes a matter of life and death literally. We will need a lot of training equipment to make sure our responders are trained to the highest standards possible. And we also need the life saving equipment to be able to put our training to work and provide a necessary service to the people of Waterford. To contribute please https://gofund.me/587a6da2

7th Anniversary RAY FITZPATRICK

In Loving Memory

14th Anniversary MARGARET (Peggy) HEARNE

Unseen and unheard but always near, So loved, so missed, so very dear

19th Anniversary MAURA FRAMPTON Sunshine passes and shadows fall, But love & memories outlast them all. -Missing you always, love Monica, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

In loving memory of Ray Fitzpatrick, late of Beech Square, Lacken Wood, whose 7th anniversary occurs on the 24th February. Ray, There is a bridge of memories, From here to heaven above, It keeps us very close to you, It’s called the bridge of love, No one knows the heartache of what your parting cost, But God in all his glory, Has gained what we have lost. - Loved and remembered from Tina xxx. Dad, I wish I wish upon a star, For my dreams to carry me to where you are, To hear your voice or sense your touch, To feel you near would meanso much, I know you’re never far away, And that you’re with me every single day, So I’m wishing now with all my might, That you’ll come to me in my dreams tonight. - Loved and remembered Dad, from your sons Kieran and Darragh xxx.

12th Anniversary billy power

In loving memory of Billy Power, late of 60 Congress Place, Waterford who died 3rd March 2010. Mass offered. A tribute of love to a husband so dear, So close to our hearts, Each day of the year, We will always have memories, To cherish and hold, Of a wonderful husband, More precious than gold.

In loving memory of Maura Frampton, late of 316, St. John’s Park, whose anniversary occurs on the 21st February. Mum, A lot in life has altered, A lot in life is new, But the things in life that never alter Are the memories of you, It isn’t what I write today, It isn’t what I say, It’s how I feel inside When I think of you today, Parting comes to let us know We love you more dearly than we know, Love in death can make us see What love in life should really be, No matter how life changes, No matter what I do, There will always be a place Within my heart for you. - Love always, Shirley, Derek, grandchildren and great grandchildren A smile for all, a heart of gold, One of the best the world could hold, Never selfish, always kind, These are the memories you left behind, To hear your voice, to see you smile, To sit and talk with you a while, To be together in the same old way, Would be our dearest wish to day, Though absent, you are always near, Still loved, still missed, still very dear. - Love Dessie, Vicky and Joe. When we last saw your smiling face You looked so bright & well Little did we know that day was to be your last farewell, To us you were someone special, Someone kind and true, You will never be forgotten Mam, For we thought the world of you,

31st Anniversary JOHN RYAN

- Always in my heart, your loving wife Helen and son Seán To hear your voice, To see your smile, To sit and talk to you a while, To be together in the same old way, Would be our dearest wish today. - Loved and remembered always, your daughter Denise, son-in-law Eoin, grandchildren Heather and Glenn No longer in our lives to share, But in our hearts you are always there, A silent thought, a quiet prayer, For a special Dad, in God’s care. - Sadly missed by your son William, daughter-in-law Tracy, grandchildren Jack, Kieran, Emily, Liam and Alex Our hearts are full of memories, With pride we speak your name, Though life goes on without you, It will never be the same. - Loved always Dad, your daughter Paula, son-in-law Thomas, grandsons Adam and Cian

In loving memory of John Ryan, late of 18 Ozanam Street, Waterford, who died on February 23rd, 1991. R.I.P. We think of you often, We talk about you still, You have never been forgotten, And you never will -Always remembered, your son Sean and grand-daughter Stephanie Novena to the Sacred Heart Dear Heart of Jesus, in the past I have asked for many favours, this time I ask for this one special favour (mention favour). Take it Dear Jesus and place it within Your own broken heart, where Your Father sees it. Then in His merciful eyes it will become Your favour and not mine. Say this prayer for 3 days. Promise publication and favour will be granted. Never known to fail. C.D.

God looked around his garden, And saw an empty space, He then looked down from Heaven, And saw your tired face, He wrapped his arms around you And whispered Come to Rest, His garden must be beautiful Because he only takes the best Like falling leaves, the years go by, But memories of you will never die, Sunshine passes, shadows fall But memories of you outlast them all. - You are always in my heart. Love Stephanie, Paul, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Softly from the shadows You heard a gentle call, Taking the hand of Jesus You quietly left us all, No special day is needed For us to think of you, You will never be forgotten For we thought the world of you, There is no night without a dawning, No winter without a spring And beyond deaths dark horizon Our hearts once more will sing, For those who leave us for a while have only gone away, Out of a restless careworn world Into a brighter day. -Sadly missed and loved dearly, Sharon, grandchildren and great grandchildren. If I could visit Heaven On this special day, I would wrap my arms around you And bring you home to stay, Find the softest pillow Lord, To rest her head upon, Place a kiss upon her cheek, She will know who it’s from, I can’t get over losing you Even though I try, I will always keep you in my heart Until the day I die. - Never forgotten, Love Joanne, Michael, grandchildren and great grandchildren. I’ll never forget that sad day You closed your eyes and went away

4th Anniversary RICHARD ALDRIDGE A sudden call from God on high, I had no chance to say goodbye, The hardest thing in life to bear Is to want your mother And she’s not there, I wish that I could see you Mam Sitting in your chair, I wish that I could go back home And find you waiting there, A million words cannot express My love, my sorrow, my emptiness, No more tomorrows for us to share, But yesterdays memories will always be there, No verse can say, no flowers repay, The beautiful mother I lost that day. - Love always Frank, Mary, Zoe & Amy. Lonely is the home without you, Life to us is not the same, All the world would be like Heaven, If we could have you back again. Our lips cannot speak how we loved her, Our hearts cannot tell what to say, But God only knows how we miss her In our home that is lonely today. Loved with a love beyond all telling, Missed with a grief beyond all tears. - Love Darren, Tammy and grandchildren Mam, Your needs were simple, Your wants were few, If your family were happy So were you. A heart of gold, A life so true, Loved & respected by all you knew. Always willing, helpful & kind, What lovely memories You left behind. - Love from Garrett, Chantelle, Tommy, Emma & Allie God called your name so softly That only you could hear, And no-one heard the footsteps Of angels drawing near, It broke our hearts to lose you But you did not go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home, You’re always close beside us In everything you do, You were our greatest treasure, God’s gift to us was you. -Love Tracey, Dee and Tegan.

Novena to the Sacred Heart Dear Heart of Jesus, in the past I have asked for many favours, this time I ask for this one special favour (mention favour). Take it Dear Jesus and place it within Your own broken heart, where Your Father sees it. Then in His merciful eyes it will become Your favour and not mine. Say this prayer for 3 days. Promise publication and favour will be granted. Never known to fail. W.K.

Shane and Nathan. Our family chain is broken now Nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one The link shall join again. - Never forgotten, always loved by your sister Liz, Lee, Jamie Shannon & Keeleigh.

In loving memory of Richard Aldridge, late of 128 Ballybeg, who died on 23rd Feb 2018. I often lay awake at night, When the world is fast asleep I think about the one I lost, With the tears upon my cheeks, I cannot get over losing you, No matter how I try, I will always love & remember you, Until the day I die, Love him Lord as I did, Don’t let him see me cry For the years we spent together, No millionaire could buy. - Never forgotten by your loving Dad Richard No matter how life changes, No matter what we do, A special place within our hearts Is always kept for you. - Never forgotten, always loved by sister Louise, nephews

Falling tears & aching heart Are things I have to bear, Losing you the way I did Will always seem unfair, May the wind of love blow gently On a quiet & peaceful spot Where the brother I love lies sleeping And will never be forgot. - From your brother Kevin, Vanessa, Jamie-Leigh, Kevin. and baby Annie When we last saw your smiling face You looked so bright & well Little did we know that day was to be your last farewell, To us you were someone special, Someone kind and true, You will never be forgotten Richard For we thought the world of you, Sunshine passes & shadows fall, But love & memories outlast them all. - From your sister Jenny, Keith, Tyler and Brooke.

Please Note The deadline for inclusion in the Memoriam Pages is: 4pm on the Friday prior to publication. We cannot guarantee inclusion for memorials submitted after this.

In loving memory of Paddy Kirby, late of 3 Connolly Place, who died on the 26th February 1997. Dad to us you were so precious, A gift so rare, Content in your home and always there, As long as we live, We will always be glad, That we were your daughters, And you were our dad. - Loved and remembered by your daughters sons-in-law, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

In loving memory of a dear mother and grandmother, Margaret ‘Peggy’ Hearne, late of 28 Orchard Drive, Ursuline Court, who died on the 25th February 2008. God thought we needed sunshine, So he lent her for a while, And the silver tears we are shedding now, Is just interest on the loan. Look around your garden Lord And when Peg turns and smiles, Put your arms around her Lord, And hold her for a while. - Your loving husband John Time goes by but still you stay, As near and dear as yesterday, We think of you always, And talk about you still, You’ll never be forgotten, You know you never will. - Loved and remembered always by your daughter Tina, son-in-law Matthew and grandchildren Jade, Niamh, Chris, Jack and Brandon, and great grandaughter Aoibheann & Oisín. Your life as love and labour, Your love for your family true, You did your best for all of us, We will always remember you. God saw you getting tired, When a cure was not to be, He closed His arms around you, And whispered, come with me, Our lives are all so different now, From what they used to be, All because you are not here, To share our company. - Sadly missed, your daughter Kitty, her partner Brian, grandson, Gary & Kathryn, and great grandaughters Laura, Holly & Eireann Grandmothers really never die, They just keep house up in the sky, She polishes the sun by day and lights the stars at night, For grandmothers really never die, They just keep house up in the sky and in, The heavenly home above, They wait to welcome those they love. - Love always, grandchildren Sharon and Stephen PRAYER TO ST JUDE Most holy apostle St Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus. I am so helpless and alone. I implore you to bring visible and speedy help. Come to my assistance in this great need (ask for favour). I will be ever mindful of this great favour, to always honour you as my special and powerful patron. Amen. Promise publication and favour will be granted D.P.

RE: SECTION 38 ROAD TRAFFIC ACT 1994 – TRAFFIC CALMING SCHEME ACTIVE TRAVEL SCHEME PEDESTRIAN & CYCLE FACILITIES IMPROVEMENTS AT THE FARRONSHONEEN ROUNDABOUT Waterford City & County Council proposes to undertake the upgrade of pedestrian and cyclist facilities at, and in proximity of Farronshoneen RBT. Proposed works include: •

Provision of a toucan crossing on the R710 Eastern arm at the Farranshoneen Roundabout and uncontrolled crossings on all other arms of the roundabout.

•

Provision of a zebra crossings on the Williamstown Road Northern and Southern arms of the roundabout, remote from the roundabout entries

•

Widening of the existing footpaths on all four quadrants of the roundabout to accommodate a combined footpath/cyclepath.

•

Increasing the size of the splitter islands on the Williamstown arms of the roundabout to safely accommodate pedestrians and cyclists crossing these arms of the roundabout.

•

Provision of high skid resistance surfacing on both vehicle approaches to the toucan crossing.

•

Provision of Bus Cage markings and a Bus Stop sign at the bus stop on the Williamstown Road Southern arm.

•

Provision of a zebra crossing on the Williamstown Road Southern arm.

•

The provision of a pedestrian link from the footpath at the zebra crossing on the Williamstown Road Southern arm to the internal footpath with the Williamstown Glen Housing Estate.

•

Widening of the footpath on the southwestern side of the Williamstown Road Southern arm to accommodate a footpath of adequate width between Hollymount Estate and the Farranshoneen Roundabout.

•

The provision of an uncontrolled pedestrian crossing on the Hollymount Estate access road.

As part of Active Travel works in the area, the objective is to improve walking routes, improve connections to existing footpaths and create a more beneficial crossing point closer to the natural desire line, as set out on the attached drawing. The drawing is available for inspection on Waterford City and County Council’s website www.waterfordcouncil.ie and is also on display in our Customer Services Departments in Bailey’s New Street in the City and Davitts Quay, Dungarvan from Tuesday 22nd February to Monday 22nd March, 2022. The Council will consider any submissions or observations made in writing regarding the proposal. Submissions should be lodged with Ian Ludlow, Staff Officer, Active Travel Team, Waterford City & County Council, Menapia Building, The Mall, Waterford or by email to iludlow@waterfordcouncil.ie to be received by Monday 04th April 2022. Fergus Galvin, Director of Services Roads, Water and Environment
