Cllr Frank O’Rourke with Residents from the Maynooth road enjoying the new upgraded and improved footpath at Jasmine house in Celbridge. “I am delighted that following my ongoing representations that funding was allocated for this much needed and long overdue footpath improvement. This is the main pedestrian route into the town of Celbridge and these works will give improved safety. I will continue to work on delivering funding for Celbridge so that all necessary upgrades and works can be carried out”.

Cllr Frank O’Rourke with the Celbridge Business Association Committee and with the Calendar sub Committee which worked on the 2014 Celbridge Calendar. “The calendar displays lovely images from around Celbridge while giving a free mention to all Business’s which are members of the Association. There will be 3,000 of the Calendars  for distribution through the different Business’s. Last year was the very first time for this initiative and it worked really well and was received by the public so positively that we have done it again for 2014 and I would imagine it is now here to stay and will be an annual thing. I want to thank my sub Committee colleagues Tom Travers and Gabriel Conway and also the twelve business’s which were main sponsors for the calendar. Thanks to all those for the photos”.

Cllr Frank O’Rourke with McKenna’s at their premises in Celbridge called the “BASE” which will be opening soon. This is great news for Celbridge as it will provide 50 jobs between permanent and part time positions once opened. It also provided up to 70 jobs during construction. This facility is one to be checked out with entertainment for all. I have worked with the McKenna’s on this and other projects and they are to be complimented for this initiative.

Celbridge Fianna Fail Councillor, Frank O’Rourke, has welcomed the recently completed resurfacing works on the Maynooth Road from the gates at Castletown to the junction at Tesco in Celbridge.

‘Work on the Maynooth Road in Celbridge has just been completed and this will improve the standard of the road surface and provide a safer surface for its users.’

‘Over the last year, I have made representations to Kildare Co Co to have the Maynooth Road in Celbridge from the Castletown Gates to the junction at Tesco resurfaced. The standard of this road surface has deteriorated in recent years and complete rehabilitation works were required.’

‘I am delighted that the council took on board the necessity of this resurfacing works on behalf of the people of Celbridge.  I had met with many residents over the last year and I outlined to them the progress we were making in getting the surface of this section of the Maynooth road in Celbridge upgraded.’

‘I want to compliment all those involved in Kildare County Council in bringing this project to a successful conclusion and also to thank the people and Business’s of Celbridge for their co-operation during the construction phase of the project.’ concluded Cllr O’Rourke
