Bridge Re-opened - Congratulations to all concerned with the rebuilding of the bridge in Ballinonty and work well done. Since the morning of the 16th August when the bad floods cut off people using the road, public transport, private motorists and truck deliveries, shopkepers and garages were very co-operative with the diversion caused by the disaster and thank God there was no accident..

Traffic Control The traffic regulations put into practice during the days of the All Ireland Ploughing Match were a great success and traffic moved freely. If those traffic measures could be put in our town during peaktimes during the week it would help ease the problem that is getting worse.
