Vandalism:
Vandalism has occurred again at the Town Lake. So much hard work goes into maintaining the green area on the Cavan Road by local Community Groups and providing amenities such as the picnic bench by the local BDA – it is utterly frustrating to see that anyone could demolish all that hard work without a care or thought for everyone else in our Community that uses it. Please be vigilant and report to our local Garda station if you see anything untoward happening to any of the local amenities in the area.
