“It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.” – Albert Einstein🌱💚

Yet another obstacle but we will get there…. one day . We were promised that work was to start this MAY!!
I would like to thank Cllr Rory O'Connor for sticking with this one for us , your time and effort it’s much appreciated . Below is the most recent excuse of which I have plenty 👇

“Unfortunately, I have encountered further delays. The supplier is looking for payment before delivery. As we have not done business with them before, I sought a quote elsewhere but the only alternative quote received last week is also from a new supplier to WCC and will likely take some time to set up on our financial systems ( from past experience average 3-4 weeks)”

🌱Thank you for taking the time to read this , feel free to write to the council it you have any good excuses they are running out of them !!

We are buzzing with the amazing news and what a fantastic way to start off a long weekend. We have secured an additional €18,000 along with the original grant of €9,114 making a total of €27,144 of funding for our little project. This extra funding will allow many of the original ideas for the area to become a reality. A massive thank you to all those involved to date. Cllr Rory O'Connor, for the fantastic Kilmacanogue Marsh Biodiversity Enhancement Plan, Code with the Wicklow Partnership, and all from Wicklow County Council who have helped with and supported this project from the start.
