Illegal playground pulled down

Alan Bradley, who lives across from the amenity, criticised the county council for removing it, claiming it was the only amenity for children in the area and that the next nearest playground is in Duleek, which is 8km away.

“We all chipped in together, the fence was €3,500, we had to put it in the whole way down there to stop the children going in,” said Mr Bradley.
