Boost for playground campaign

PARENTS in Adare have won a major victory in their three-year battle with Limerick County Council to get a children’s playground for the heritage village.

Councillors for the Bruff electoral area, which includes Adare, yesterday unanimously decided to back a notice of motion calling on the council to give the playground a site in the town park.

Council officials have resisted calls to allow a play area in the park, even though consultants called in by the council found it to be an ideal site.
