Removal of pole on Kildangan bridge will cost €7k

Kildare Co Council has said that the cost of removing a pole from Kildangan bridge will be €7,000.

Council officials said the work "is being held up because of Eir's demand for €7,000 to remove a pole which is required in the interest of safety".

Cllr Thomas Redmond claimed that the location of the pole on the narrow bridge is dangerous to passing cars and pedestrians.
