Funding secured for burying Moynalty cables

The news that Moynalty Tidy Town Committee has secured funding of €150,000 from Meath Partnership and €250,000 from Meath County Council for the burial of overhead electricity and telephone cables and the putting in place of a new street lighting system has been welcomed by Deputy Thomas Byrne. He congratulated the chairman, Peter Rogers, and all the members of Moynalty Tidy Towns Committee, for all the hard work they had put in to secure this important funding. "The funding will go towards burying existing overhead Eircom and ESB cables and the putting in place of a new public lighting system, in addition to new footpaths being put in place through the village. I understand that Eircom and ESB are working alongside Meath County Council on the initiative and that the project will commence this October," he said. Moynalty has won the tidiest town award in County Meath every year for well over a decade and the local TT committee considered it vital to its future prospects of gaining a national TT award that the unsightly cables be buried underground.
