·        Minutes of Boyle MD meeting on 18^th July 2025.

M5.25  Cllr Tom Crosby - Motion

That Roscommon County Council prioritise the immediate provision of a footpath and public lighting along Ballytoohey Road, which serves four large housing estates, numerous one-off houses, and provides a vital link between the village and the local national school. This matter has been raised for several years without progress, despite over €70,000 having been spent in 2003/2004 on the preparation of plans and related works. In the interests of road and pedestrian safety the Council now resolves to advance this project as a matter of urgency.

M6.25  Cllr. Sean Moylan - Motion

 I call on Roscommon Co. Co. to make every effort, to acquire the small parcel of land that is available free of charge beside Kilmore Graveyard, as soon as possible.

M7.25 Cllr. Leah Cull – Motion

I propose that Roscommon County Council undertake road safety measures on the R361 (Frenchpark road out of Boyle)

The increasing traffic flow and safety concerns expressed by local residents have highlighted the urgent need for improved safety measures. This should include:

- ?A continuous white line marking outside Kingsland NS

- 50-kilometer signage at the appropriate location

- Speed indicator sign as you approach Silveroe Estate

Q2.25  Cllr Tom Crosby

Will the Director of Services inform the meeting of the total amount of development charges collected from the seven housing estates in Tarmonbarry Village?

Q3.25 Cllr. Sean Moylan

Do the council have any indication if the new N5 will be opened together, or will it be opened in sections as it becomes available, and if so any timeline as to when the first section will be open?

Q4.25 Cllr. Leah Cull

There was some discussion 2/3 years ago regarding the construction of a cycle way from Cootehall village to the national school, but it never materialised. Could you please inform me if there are any future plans for this?

Q5.25 Cllr. Leah Cull

I had a motion in some time ago regarding installing chevron signs at Strabragin NS Arigna R280 and the railway bridge on the R294 Gurteen road in Boyle - Is there any update on this?
