A LISSYCASEY culvert by a popular walking route is flooding “for some unknown reason,” a bemused local representative has flagged.
An appeal for the culvert on the L6342 “at a point approximately 300m from the N68” in Lissycasey to be replaced was made by Cllr PJ Kelly (FF) at the November meeting of the West Clare Municipal District.
Senior executive engineer in the West Clare MD, Alan Kennelly was hopeful such works could be arranged. “The elected member might be kind enough to give me exact details of the culvert to be replaced,” he stated in a written reply.
“As you go westward passed the first housing scheme in Lissycasey, it is one the left and is part of what is known as the old triangle,” Kelly said. “There are a lot of people walking there at night and for some unknown reason it floods”.
Kelly’s proposal was seconded by Cllr Shane Talty (FF).
