Kelly backs club in dispute over road development

GAA President Sean Kelly has backed Carlow club Tinryland GFC in their dispute with the National Roads Authority (NRA) and Kildare County Council.

Tinryland are angered by the proposed N9 road corridor from Kilcullen to Waterford which club officers say will devastate existing facilities and have negative social implications for the entire parish.

They claim the new road development will effectively sever the club’s facilities from the nearby village. Members will be forced to use a long underground pedestrian tunnel in order to access those facilities.
