Mayo Deputy calling for leadership in vaccine distribution Published: Thursday, 25 February 2021 13:31
A Mayo Deputy says the rollout of the vaccination programme in the county had been “all over the place” with some practices receiving no supplies while others received far too much for their needs.
Fianna Fail TD Dara Calleary instanced his own home town of Ballina where three practices received a supply of vaccines and three did not.
Deputy Calleary has questioned who is in charge of the vaccine roll-out and says there are certain issues that need to be resolved.
However, he says the plan to have all of the over 85 s to be vaccinated by next week is still well on track.
Planning to be sought next month for overbridge at Kilnageer level crossing Published: Wednesday, 24 February 2021 07:53
Irish Rail is to hoping to submit a planning application in the next month for an overbridge at the notorious Kilnageer level crossing near Belcarra, Castlebar.
That s according to Mayo FG Deputy Alan Dillon, who questioned the CEO of Irish Rail Jim Meade on the matter at a recent meeting of the Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications.
The Kilnageer crossing has been previously described as dangerous and confusing as motorists must open and close gates every time they use the level crossing, while a traffic light system installed last year by Irish Rail was unclear.
