DANNY HEALY REA TD
Danny was very disappointed that the Post Office in Gneeveguilla has been closed down as it had been an integral part of the community for several generations.
I want to take this opportunity to thank Seamus and Noreen McCarthy and their family for their service dedicated to the people of Gneeveguilla.
Danny Healy Rae T.D. Cllr Maura Healy Rea. I am delighted that the undergrounding of the cables for the new lights and repair of the footpaths in Gneeveguilla is about to start very shortly. I am glad to have allocated €5,000 from my Councillor’s Allocation at the outset and to have worked very closely with Kerry County Council and IRD and to help progress this very important project. I hope the work will turn out to everyone’s satisfaction. Cllr Maura Healy Rae.
