I’m finished as a dairy farmer, says Aylward as road splits land

BEING the brother of an MEP and former junior agriculture minister means nothing when it comes to progress and road plans.

Bobby Aylward, brother of sitting TD Liam Aylward, says his 35-acre dairy farm close to the edge of Waterford city at Knockmoylan, Mullinavat, will be rendered useless by the new Waterford to Kilcullen road which is about to be developed.

The 49-year-old councillor and former chairman of both the South East Regional Authority and county council says while the road will be a major inconvenience, he won’t be objecting to it.
