People in Forgney who had concerns about the effects that a realignment of the R392 at Forgney would have on their land will be overjoyed to hear that, following extensive public consultation, the plans have been scrapped.
Cllr Pat O Toole, at this afternoon s meeting of Longford County Council, requested an update on the plans, following the conclusion of public consultation in March. The current position is that the consultant got all submissions and we hear them. Now the proposal will be to do a localised realignment at the Abbeyshrule junction onto the R391 and not proceed with the full scheme that went on public display, said Director of Services with Longford County Council John Brannigan.

Locals have expressed their anger at how the event was handled by the Council this week
A special sitting of Longford Circuit Court is due to take place this afternoon following the unauthorised erection of a marquee in the town this week.
Judge Keenan Johnson yesterday granted a special order to Longford County Council to secure the removal of the tent which was erected on Tuesday to accommodate guests attending a Traveller wedding.
However, the Council was unable to execute the order fully, and despite Gardai and local authority officials monitoring the scene until 5pm on Wednesday , around 100 people did enter the marquee for the party.
